VERDICT · FALSE
The statement contains a factual error regarding the official title: the correct title is Secretary of Agriculture (not 'Agricultural Secretary'), and the current Secretary is Tom Vilsack, not Brooke Rollins. Brooke Rollins is the Secretary of the Interior, not Secretary of Agriculture. This misattribution makes the statement FALSE as written, regardless of whether USDA may have actually been in contact about the Potter Valley Project.

VERDICT · FALSE
Brooke Rollins has never served as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture; she was only nominated for the post in 2020 but not confirmed. Therefore the claim about her position and any tweet as Secretary is inaccurate.

VERDICT · FALSE
No evidence exists of a tweet by Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins on May 2, 2026, stating that the USDA was in contact with a buyer for the Potter Valley Project; the claim appears to be unfounded.
