We appreciate USDA’s blueprint for tackling avian influenza. America’s farmers are committed to ensuring a safe and abundant food supply, and these investments to advance biosecurity and research will further equip them to combat the threat of HPAI.

We appreciate President Trump delaying tariffs previously to allow for more negotiations. As the new tariff deadline approaches, we ask that the president continue to look for ways to avoid imposing tariffs—further driving up supply costs and reducing access to markets.

Farmers support the goals of ensuring security and fair trade with other nations, but additional tariffs, along with expected retaliatory tariffs, will take a toll on rural America.

I was honored to present the Outstanding New Member of Congress Award to Senator Katie Britt today. We need lawmakers like Sen. Britt to continue working to create opportunities for America’s farmers and ranchers to succeed.

.American Farm Bureau appreciates the EPA for listening to the concerns of farmers and taking the first step toward creating clear WOTUS implementation guidelines, which will help farmers protect the environment while ensuring they can grow the food America’s families rely on.

We’re pleased Sec. Rollins prioritized delivery of the first $10 billion in much-needed aid approved by Congress. It will help farmers who are facing low commodity prices while wrestling with inflation, high interest rates and increased supply costs.

The July Cattle Report and County Estimates reports are crucial tools for farmers and ranchers to understand markets and make business decisions. We’re grateful USDA made the correct call to restore these reports.

It was an honor to present @congressmanGT with his second American Farm Bureau Golden Plow award. Chairman Thompson has worked tirelessly for America’s farmers, and we look forward to his continued leadership.

.American Farm Bureau appreciates the work between the administration and the United Kingdom to secure a new trade agreement. We have long advocated for new trade deals, and this is an important first step in expanding markets in the four countries.

Our nation’s food security depends on farms of all sizes, but it is getting more difficult for smaller farms to survive tough economic times. We look forward to learning more about Secretary Rollins’ plan and working with USDA to ensure farm families don’t just endure but thrive.

.American Farm Bureau applauds the House passage of H.R.1, which modernizes farm bill programs and extends and improves critical tax provisions that benefit America’s small farmers and ranchers.

It is deeply troubling for the White House to endorse a report that sows seeds of doubt and fear about our food system and farming practices, then attempts to celebrate farmers and the critical role they play in producing the safest food supply in the world.

.@Farmbureau appreciates the Senate Ag Committee’s markup and passage of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act. Whole and 2% milk, as well as flavored options, are wholesome choices for children and an important building block for a healthy, balanced diet.
