Texas Farm Bureau thanks President Trump for taking action to allow emergency use of dyed diesel on highways to help lower diesel costs and provide much needed relief to farm and ranch families. In addition, the $8 billion in harvest fuel relief is welcome and much-needed support. This administration heard directly from farm country and delivered. Fuel expenses impact every acre farmed and every commodity hauled, making these actions especially meaningful during a difficult economic period for agriculture. Although more work remains to address the challenges facing farm and ranch families, this is a step forward.

Farmers all over the country work hard every day to feed our families and keep America moving. @USDA's new Farmers First website highlights the wins in the Working Families Tax Cuts law to support producers, keep family farms going strong, and deliver a stronger safety net. Take a look and see what these changes mean for farmers in Southern Illinois and across the country. usda.gov/farmers-first

President Trump is fighting to make diesel prices more affordable. His EO on expanding red-dyed diesel and providing federal tax relief will save hundreds of millions for farmers, putting more money back in Americans pockets. 🇺🇸

Huge win for Kentucky farmers. President Trump signed an executive order expanding access to tax-exempt red-dyed diesel. With harvest underway and high fuel costs weighing on farm families, this will provide immediate relief and help lower costs. Thank you President Trump for standing with our farmers.
BREAKING: @POTUS just signed an Executive Order to immediately cut diesel costs by temporarily allowing highway use of tax-free dyed diesel and deferring the federal diesel tax on that fuel through the end of the year — no interest, no penalties.

A Week of Winning for America’s Farmers & Ranchers! In addition to celebrating 250 years of liberty last week, the work for American agriculture continued unabated. Rural America is BACK at the center of policymaking, with major progress across multiple fronts even as we advanced other big national priorities. Farm security IS national security. There’s still much more work to do, but we’re delivering real results for our producers. Thank you, President Trump, for putting American agriculture FIRST! 🙌

Great work by our Dealmaker-in-chief @POTUS for getting this across the finish line! This deal protects America and the world, while providing an open Strait of Hormuz delivering stability for our farmers who rely on this for needed inputs! Only President Trump could deliver on this goal!
“The Deal with Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all!” President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

Proudly 100% American from farm to table. 🇺🇸🥩 Riverbend Ranch was an early adopter of the new PRODUCT OF USA label, and they’re now featuring it front and center in commercials with full pride! When you see this logo, you’re choosing a product that is truly a Product of the USA. #POTUSA

Great work by @OIGUSDA and @SecRollins to go after the rampant fraud in our SNAP programs that the Biden Admin let surge. SNAP benefits should be used by Americans who need help buying food, not by fraudsters with enough cash to buy Bentleys and Ferraris.
For years, the Democrats let fraudsters abuse SNAP and take advantage of this massive government program — the Biden admin ballooning it by 40% as they tried to buy votes with your tax dollars. It is hard to fully comprehend what would have happened If President Trump hadn’t won. This program and so many others would have continued to grow unchecked and freedom as we know it would have been lost forever. We are working with relentless intention with our great @VP’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, our USDA team, and the @USDAOIG. So far: • 4.3 million people moved off SNAP; • Over 355,000 people getting double benefits found; • 186,000 dead people getting benefits; 440,000 people using dummy SSNs • 893 arrests by USDA alone, so many more by @DOJ More coming. STAY TUNED. 🇺🇸

The Biden Administration mandated harmful policy decisions and then hid where the rules it created were, making compliance difficult to impossible. The Trump Administration has removed that harmful guidance and re-established a one-stop shop where the public can go to find the rules that apply to all. Transparency and fairness matter.
