WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 17, 2026) – The poultry industry is expressing gratitude to the Trump administration for postponing a regulation from the previous administration that would have affected payment structures for chicken farmers nationwide.
Harrison Kircher, who serves as President of the National Chicken Council, praised the decision in a statement released today. “We applaud Secretary Rollins and the Trump administration for their thoughtful review of this Biden-era regulation and for listening to chicken farmers across the country who oppose it,” Kircher stated.
The industry representative emphasized the organization’s backing of the current administration’s approach to regulatory reform. According to Kircher, the National Chicken Council fully endorses the administration’s dedication to eliminating unnecessary regulatory barriers.
