Roy Graber reports:

The National Turkey Federation (NTF) has been somewhat limited with its outreach to federal officials in the second Donald Trump administration, as key leadership positions within the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) have not been filled. 

NTF Vice President of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs Lindy Chiaia and Senior Vice President of Government Affairs Dale Nellor gave an update on the governmental matters during an April 9 presentation at PEAK in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

Chiaia noted that Brooke Rollins has been confirmed as the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and has been very active since taking office, frequently travelling and making agency announcements. 

However, other senior level leaders are still lacking.
