WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), a member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry today questioned Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture nominee. If confirmed, Vilsack will be head of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the second time, as he served as secretary during the Obama administration. Thune questioned him on his outlook on strengthening the cattle market, country of origin labeling, and support for biofuels. The Senate Agriculture Committee also advanced Vilsack’s nomination today, which now awaits consideration by the full Senate.

The Secretary of Agriculture should be an advocate for farmers and ranchers and apply it to the climate change hoax. So the Biden Administration is diverting $30 billion used for farmers impacted by the trade war with China. Perhaps the Senator could have asked him about that and whether he would be advocating reversing this plan.
