Trump accused the Biden administration and Democrats of hurting farmers with regulations and stalled trade deals, while presenting himself as a champion of rural America and highlighting past farmer relief funded by tariff revenue.

He highlighted expanded agricultural exports, notably more than $40 billion in U.S. soybeans sent to China after a revised deal with Xi Jinping, and touted the largest tax cuts in American history, including a full first-year deduction for new tractors and equipment.

A new rule requires more than a 60% increase in biodiesel and renewable diesel production and use from 2025 levels, while preserving 15 billion gallons of conventional biofuel for 2026-2027.

The American Farm Bureau Federation praised regulatory relief, certainty for farmers, and a modernized farm bill, emphasizing emergency assistance and year-round E15 availability to boost farm demand.

Policy measures include expanded SBA loan guarantees for farmers and food suppliers, with updated Renewable Fuel Standards for 2026-2027 projected to generate over $10 billion in rural benefits and create about 100,000 jobs.

Context notes frame rural voters and ongoing debates over biofuels as part of the administration’s energy independence and agriculture policy agenda.

A new right-to-repair rule for farming equipment was announced, with potential savings of up to $30,000 on major repairs, alongside planned rollbacks of costly diesel exhaust fluid regulations.

The policy package ties agricultural policy to energy and trade strategy, endorsing emergency E15 fuel sales and expanded biofuel mandates to reduce costs and boost domestic production.

Domestic measures include the largest tax cuts in U.S. history for farmers, featuring a 100% first-year deduction for new tractors and equipment and the rollback of estate taxes to preserve family farms.

Officials claimed the plan would raise corn and soybean oil values, increase net farm income by several billion dollars, and spur job growth in agricultural and manufacturing sectors, while pursuing new EPA guidelines to reduce diesel emissions.

Trump signaled a push for more farm relief in the next funding bill and urged swift passage of a new farm bill.

Farmers at the White House event voiced support for a new farm bill and highlighted tax and energy policies that they say have increased their earnings.
