Trump to announce actions to help US farmers on Friday
EPA changes remove costly Diesel Exhaust Fluid sensor rules, saving farmers $4.4 billion annually; SBA loan guarantees for agriculture increase from 75% to 90%.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump will host more than 800 farmers on the South Lawn of the White House to announce new measures supporting the agricultural sector.
- These efforts respond to industry struggles caused by ongoing tariffs and the Iran war, which has disrupted fertilizer and fuel supplies while raising operating costs for farmers.
- Trump will unveil an enhanced Small Business Administration loan program increasing government guarantees from 75% to 90%, and the Environmental Protection Agency will alter diesel exhaust fluid sensor guidelines.
- The administration is also expected to release 2026-27 biofuel blending obligations under the Renewable Fuel Standard this week, determining renewable fuel requirements for gasoline and diesel supplies.
- Trump previously announced a $12 billion federal assistance package in December to offset tariff-related losses, as the White House balances refiner pressure on fuel prices against farmer demand for biofuels.
