“The Secretary has been on a bit of a whirlwind tour,” said agriculture expert Andy Vance. "She was in Ohio, visited an egg farm, visited some other things with the governor and really, I think, did a great job of engaging with the industry as part of that kind of whistle stop tour all around the country."

Vance said the USDA rolled out a five-point plan for how to manage avian influenza.
