Moderate US House Dem group questions USDA’s Rollins over screwworm response

The New Democrat Coalition has raised concerns about the U.S. Department of Agriculture's handling of the recent screwworm outbreak, urging the agency to offer more information and push for increased resources to manage the spread. Key members like Sharice Davids, Gabe Vasquez, and Jim Costa are leading this charge, highlighting potential gaps in the current response strategy. This scrutiny matters because screwworms can devastate livestock, affecting both farmers' livelihoods and broader economic stability. The call for more action underscores the need for effective pest management to protect agricultural productivity.
