ITHACA, Nebraska — President Donald Trump’s ag secretary visited Nebraska after a Saturday storm and faced questions from farmers about some dark skies facing agriculture, including a few clouds some said the administration stirred.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins heard about tariffs and trade in a closed-press roundtable at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Eastern Nebraska Research, Extension and Education Center.

Rollins got an inkling of the economic disruption of on-again, off-again, on-again tariffs with key trade partners for Nebraska agriculture, including Mexico and Canada, attendees said.

She also heard some thanks from local producers for the Trump administration’s progress toward trade expansion into major markets, such as Japan, South Korea and Australia.

1. The Secretary's mother is a politician too.

She is a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives.
