Trump Hosts Rose Garden Dinner for Farmers as Aid Request Awaits Congress
Trump’s request would add about $11.1 billion in farm aid as growers face high costs, tariff fallout and low crop prices, officials said.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump hosted farmers for a Rose Garden dinner and announced a request to Congress for $11.1 billion in supplemental agricultural disaster assistance for row-crop and specialty producers.
- Mounting financial pressures from elevated fuel and fertilizer costs tied to the war in Iran have squeezed agricultural margins, prompting the administration to seek emergency supplemental funding for growers.
- Alongside the aid request, Trump signed an executive order Thursday directing federal agencies to expand regenerative agriculture research and sought permanent, year-round E15 gasoline sales for corn farmers.
- Farmers offered mixed reactions, with some welcoming assistance while Nebraska producer Tim Gregerson described the funding as a 'small Band-Aid' for broader agricultural struggles.
- Administration officials argue trade policies are expanding global market access, though producers remain focused on navigating persistent input costs and affordability challenges ahead of midterm elections.
