Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins has been very busy lately.
First, she has directed her agency to build a sterile screwworm fly facility in Edinburg, Texas. This would be similar to the one in Mexico, and it's in an ideal location due to the existing infrastructure and close to the Mexican border. The plant will produce up to 300 million sterile flies per week to fight the screwworm.
Secondly, Secretary Rollins has put a stop to taxpayer funded solar farms from being built on farmland. She said that government subsidized green energy projects like solar farms make it more difficult for farmers to compete for farmland, and that's not all. She said there will no longer be non-American solar panels used in any USDA funded projects.
