U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins will be in Iowa Monday, March 31, with a full schedule that includes a visit to an ethanol plant.

Secretary Rollins will start the day with at Elite Octane in Atlantic, Iowa, where she will be joined by Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds, Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA), Reps. Zach Nunn and Mariannette Miller-Meeks, and Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig. Rollins will also tour a hog farm, and meet with soybean producers and agriculture leaders from across Iowa, capping off the day by delivering the keynote speech at the Iowa Ag Leaders Dinner.

Tariffs and trade are likely to dominate any remarks the secretary makes as this week is the “big” week for reciprocal tariff announcements promised by President Donald Trump. Rollins announced Friday she will visit six international markets in her first six months as Secretary to expand markets and boost American agricultural exports.

On her agenda are Vietnam, Japan, India, Peru, Brazil, and the United Kingdom. The UK was the second largest market for U.S. ethanol exports last year, according to the Renewable Fuels Association, while India was ranked fourth. Peru was ninth on the list last year and there is room to grow as USDA lists ethanol exports as one of the key prospects for Rollins’ visit. India, Japan and Brazil are all extremely important markets for the ethanol industry in terms of growth potential and trade imbalances.
