Super Bowl Commercial and House Ag Chair Congratulates Rollins
From the Ag Information Network, this is your Agribusiness Update.
**If you watched the Super Bowl, you may have noticed a Frito-Lay Potato Chip commercial titled ‘The Little Farmer.’
www.morningagclips.com reports that commercial ended with 5-year-old DeLee Parker, of Jeff Parker Farms, a fourth-generation farming family from St. Johns County, holding potatoes from the family’s farm.
The farms featured in the commercial received the Florida
Farm Bureau’s County Alliance for Responsible Environmental Stewardship Award for their role in preserving land for future generations.

**Following the Senate's confirmation of Brooke Rollins as Ag Secretary, House Ag Committee Chair Glenn 'GT' Thompson expressed his appreciation and congratulated Rollins on her confirmation.
He says Brooke is a proven leader who understands the challenges facing farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.
She’s taking the helm at a critical juncture, and her experience and commitment to agriculture will be invaluable as we work to strengthen the farm economy.
**Last week, the Trump administration ordered the USDA to take down its websites documenting or referencing the climate crisis.
By Friday, the landing pages on the U.S. Forest Service website for key resources, research and adaptation tools had gone dark, leaving just an error message: "You are not authorized to access this page."
The sites featured important tools and information to help mitigate the effects of the climate crisis and research.
