Thomas Massie as Secretary of Ag with Joel Salatin as one of his advisors is an undeniably good thing and something that could only have been dreamed of in years past.
It's official, @JoelSalatin to be an Advisor to the Secretary of the USDA and @RepThomasMassie to be Secretary of Agriculture. We are so unbelievably back, and truly are going to Make America Healthy Again. Great news for all, especially our farmers and ranchers!
