Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, U.S. Representative Tracey Mann (R-KS) was selected to serve as the Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry.
“I serve in Congress to advocate for agriculture and our conservative Kansas values,” said Rep. Mann. “I am a fifth-generation Kansan and grew up on my family’s preconditioning feedlot and family farm. I understand the grit, tenacity, and courage it takes to make a living in agriculture, and the burden of responsibility for feeding the world that comes along with that. Producers in the Big First sell $10 billion of livestock, dairy, poultry, and products like beef, milk, and eggs every year, more than any other Congressional district. That’s why I am honored to chair the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry. Just like the producers in the Big First, my sleeves are rolled up and I am working tirelessly, every day, to ensure that American farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers have the support they deserve from Congress.”
The jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry includes policies, statutes, and markets relating to all livestock, poultry, dairy, and seafood; the inspection of such commodities and products; and grazing.
