Secretary Rollins says the Trump administration is doing "EVERYTHING" to combat rising fertilizer costs – except for ending the war and tariffs that caused prices to skyrocket in the first place.
Farmers need relief from high costs, not White House lip service. https://ow.ly/h4M550YJT0L
A Nebraska farmer just got hit with a $50,000 fertilizer bill he didn't see coming. That's what Trump's Iran war is costing American agriculture — and Secretary Rollins told farmers not to worry about it.
Farm bankruptcies up 46%. Total farm debt heading to a record $624 billion. 94% of farmers say their finances have gotten worse or haven't improved.
And Republicans wrote a farm bill that ignores all of it.

Republicans have once again turned their back on family farmers.
Trump’s "Golden Age" of American agriculture is not going great.
Farmers are looking at fertilizer prices above $780/ton through 2028. Trump's trade wars drove up input costs.
Republicans' answer? A farm bill that does nothing about any of it and blindly backing the war with Iran.

A fourth-generation Iowa farmer on Trump:
“Our government made our life more difficult by walking away from trade deals or instituting tariffs or just basically making our customers angry — our customers being other nations and companies in other nations.” https://ow.ly/yEMN50YIYgm
At least 2.5 million Americans have been kicked off their food assistance since the Big Ugly Bill.
Trump and Brooke Rollins keep celebrating this cruelty.
American farmers and families deserve better.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
Trump's tariffs have caused farmers to lose markets and given our competitors a leg up. America's farmers need a different result not to keep paying the price for Trump's tariffs.
A pound of beef is now more than the minimum wage.

Farmers took a gut punch from Trump's trade wars. While they’re still down, fertilizer costs are surging from Trump’s war in Iran.
When does it stop?

Thanks to Trump, farmers are paying $1.69 more per gallon of diesel this month.
His war is making it more expensive to farm – which means he's making it more expensive for you to eat.
SNAP supports American family farm’s income every year. Republicans cut $187 billion from the program. If you're wondering why farmers are hurting, start there.
Trump promised a "Golden Age" for agriculture. What farmers got: high input costs, collapsed export markets, record bankruptcies, a war in Iran raising fertilizer prices and a farm bill that doesn't fix any of it.
Fertilizer prices were already up because of Trump's trade wars. Now diesel prices are spiking because of Trump's Iran war.

A Vietnam vet farmer with 50 years in the field has a word for that: "almost an insult."
House Republicans passed it. Local communities are paying for it.
“Grocery prices are starting to go rapidly down." — @POTUS
Sir, ground beef is up 13.7%. Orange juice is up 28.2%. Either you've never set foot in a grocery store, or you're just lying, but it's probably both.
Trump failed the farmer.
