The visit highlighted the importance of Midwest agriculture and its role in shaping national policies.
Secretary Rollins, accompanied by Senator Roger Marshall and Representative Tracey Mann, toured key agricultural facilities including High Plains Ponderosa Dairy, Finney's County Feeder and the National Beef Packing Plant in Kansas.
