Agriculture and Farm Policy

The White House will unveil a $12 billion farm aid package — funded through the USDA’s Commodity Credit Corporation and presented by the administration as enabled by tariff revenue — that delivers roughly $11 billion in one‑time Farmer Bridge Assistance payments to row‑crop growers and about $1 billion for other farmers whose crops don’t qualify. President Trump will announce the plan at a Monday 2 p.m. EST White House roundtable with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, lawmakers and growers, tying the relief to a nascent trade reset with China, which officials say has purchased and pledged millions of tons of U.S. soybeans.
