Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced the launch of the Farmer and Rancher Freedom Framework (PDF, 11.4 MB).

Secretary Rollins was joined by U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner, country music artist and songwriter John Rich, Representative James Comer, and several farming families who have been targets of agricultural lawfare.

“As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States, it is high time to recall a simple but profound truth about our nation: the United States was built by those who work the land. And the ability to work, protect, and own land and property continues to symbolize the American dream today,” said Secretary Brooke L. Rollins. “The strength of America has always been rooted in the hands that till its soil and care for its livestock. When we protect our farmers and ranchers, we protect the very foundation of freedom and prosperity. Together, we will ensure that no law, no regulation, and no agenda will ever stand in the way of America’s agricultural future.”

“Just as Energy Dominance is essential to America’s national security, so too is food security,” said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. “The Department of the Interior is committed to cutting through red tape to restore stability to grazing permittees on BLM lands, and reopening long-shuttered allotments to ensure America’s producers can thrive. Under President Donald J. Trump, we are ending the weaponization of government against those who feed and clothe our families. By standing with farmers and ranchers, we safeguard not only our agricultural heritage but the very foundation of freedom and prosperity. Together, we will protect the land, defend liberty, and secure a future where American agriculture remains strong and unshaken."
