“I have chickens in my backyard and yesterday I went out – they just started laying – and yesterday I got five eggs. Is part of the solution more small farms, because when avian flu hits, you have these giant industrial farms? I don’t think the eggs are as good anyway. Isn’t part of it just investing in smaller farms, encouraging that? I think the silver lining in all of this is, how do we – in our backyards – how do we solve for something like this? And people are sort of looking around thinking, ‘Wow, well maybe I could get a chicken in my backyard,’ and it’s awesome, I agree with you.” – Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins, on Fox News.
How embarrassing for them. Can’t wait to hear Trump’s “Chickens in every backyard” riff at tomorrow’s speech.
This is not a solution.
Trump’s cabinet is mocking you.
Democrats are fighting to lower prices for you. https://t.co/J8kTrMOODA
