American sheep producers raise some of the highest-quality lamb and wool in the world. They deserve a FAIR SHOT at competing right here at home. 🐑🇺🇸
Since 2021, lamb meat imports have surged nearly 45%, now accounting for 70% of the US market.
American sheep producers should not be pushed out of their own market by foreign competition.
@USDA is FIGHTING for our sheep producers, defending American agriculture, and standing up for the family farms and ranches that keep rural America strong.
MORE to come on this — stay tuned.

Agriculture is vital to our national and economic security - and as America’s original small business owners, farmers are a national treasure. At Shatto Milk Company in Missouri, agrarian roots and an entrepreneurial spirit have been a proud family legacy for over 100 years.
Alongside my colleague @SecRollins, the Trump Administration is committed to putting rural America first through access to capital, deregulation, fair trade, and rural hospital funding. There’s much more to come, and these roundtables help us hear directly from the heartland.

Backing the farmers and farm families who keep America fed, clothed, and FREE. 🇺🇸🌱
Today at Enfield Cotton Ginnery, we heard directly from North Carolina producers and highlighted coming their way:
✅ Our Great American Cotton Plan to grow demand, open new markets, and strengthen protections for America’s cotton growers.
✅ Reshoring domestic fertilizer production through a whole-of-government approach to financing and permitting, including groundbreaking for two facilities in Louisiana.
✅ New diesel relief to help bring down fuel costs during harvest.
✅ Elevated commodity prices since the start of the Trump Administration, including a 19.6% increase in the price of cotton. These are promising signs, but we have more work to do to restore the farm economy.
✅ 20 new trade deals and frameworks that have slashed the forecasted $50B agricultural trade deficit by 51% and led to record exports in markets like Mexico, South Korea, Vietnam, and the European Union.
✅ Nearly $14B in farm safety net payments beginning October 8, using increased reference prices from President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts Act, including over $200M in NC.
But the heart of today was hearing from my new friend, the inspiring Tatum Faithful Eason.
After tragically losing her husband a few years ago, Tatum kept going. She is raising their 11-year-old daughter while carrying forward the family operation they built together — with extraordinary strength, faith, and determination.
Families like Tatum’s are why we do this work. Behind every farm, gin, and field is a family fighting to preserve a way of life and pass it on to the next generation.
Tatum, thank you for welcoming us, sharing your story, and reminding us exactly who we are fighting for.
And thank you to Ellis, Paul, Johnny, Beth, Charlotte, and Matt, some of our greatest Americans farmers, as well as the one and only Steve Troxler and so many others who joined for a meaningful and inspiring day in NC cotton country.
We will never stop fighting for our American farmers. 🇺🇸

Americans don’t care which federal agency handles the paperwork. They care whether there’s a home they can afford. 🏡🇺🇸
@SecretaryTurner and I signed an agreement bringing @USDA and @HUDgov together to cut duplicate paperwork, coordinate inspections, and streamline environmental reviews for rural housing projects supported by both agencies.
Less time navigating Washington. More time building and preserving affordable homes for rural families.

The latest CPI report proves we’re making continued progress toward making real, healthy food more affordable for American families.
From July to August, the CPI fell in several categories, including:
🍅 Tomatoes ↓ 3.0%
🍎 Apples ↓ 2.8%
🥛 Milk ↓ 1.2%
🐟 Fresh fish and seafood ↓ 1.1%
🍗 Fresh whole chicken ↓ 0.5%
🥩 Beef and veal ↓ 1.0%
Making America Healthy Again means making real, nutritious food more accessible and affordable for every American family.

I have stock in SpaceX and Tesla, not some big pile of cash.
As my companies do more and more useful things, their value increases proportionate to their projected usefulness. All shareholders benefit along the way, including most retirement programs.

HUGE #MAHA WIN: Real food sales are UP 8%!
From whole milk and American-grown meat to fresh fruits and vegetables. 🥛🥩🥚🍎
President Trump gave us a clear mission: bring real food back to American families and Make America Healthy Again.

I was in Wisconsin yesterday meeting with farmers and ranchers, and they made it clear: Canada’s unfair dairy and trade policies are hurting American agriculture.
President Trump hears them. He has made agriculture a top priority in the White House and is fighting to make sure American farmers get a fair deal.
Wisconsin is the #1 dairy state in America, and our dairy farmers have been hit hard by years of bad policy and unfair trade practices.
As Secretary of Agriculture, I’m proud to stand with @POTUS and the rest of our amazing Cabinet as we put American farmers and ranchers FIRST. 🇺🇸🐄

Thank you for continuing to draw attention to this critical issue, @johnrich.
@USDA is fighting the plan to decommission the Potter Valley Project. We intervened directly in the FERC proceedings because we will NOT stand by while reliable water for hundreds of thousands of people — including hardworking farmers and ranchers — is put at risk.
We are in this fight.

Wildfire response starts long before a fire begins.
In Boise, Idaho, @SecretaryBurgum and I met with the men and women on the front lines to discuss how we strengthen prevention, improve forest health, reduce hazardous fuels, strategically stage aviation assets, and ensure our firefighters have the resources they need.
As part of that effort, USDA and DOI are accelerating and improving fire prevention techniques to make our forests safer and less susceptible to uncontrolled wildfires through mechanical thinning, prescribed fire, and active forest management.
These proactive steps support the more than 30,000 federal firefighters, 400+ aircraft, and all our state and local partners working to protect communities across the country.
Under @POTUS, @USDA, @Interior, and @forestservice are working together to keep communities safe, protect our firefighters, and put fires out quickly.
God bless our wildland firefighters—and all those working behind the scenes to support them. 🇺🇸

Alexandra Fasulo is standing up for American landowners and fighting to protect our nation’s farmland.
And she’s got me, @johnrich, and our entire agency in her corner.
America’s farmland is too important to lose. @USDA will always stand with the farmers, ranchers, and landowners who keep America fed and prosperous.
WE RIDE AT DAWN!

Congratulations to my friend and colleague @DAGToddBlanche on his confirmation by the United States Senate to serve as Attorney General.
It has been an honor to work alongside Todd. I have seen firsthand his unwavering commitment to the rule of law, his demand for accountability, and his relentless focus on delivering real results for the American people. He is a proven leader who understands that the Department of Justice must serve the Constitution and the citizens of this country — not the political agendas of the past.
President Trump chose wisely. Our nation is about to have a strong, experienced, and principled Attorney General who will continue restoring integrity, enforcing the law evenly, and putting the American people first.
So excited for the good work to continue as USDA and DOJ work together in an unprecedented and historical partnership as we battle for our farmer, ranchers and all of rural America.
Onward we go @DAGToddBlanche!

From day one, we’ve been on a nonstop listening tour — going directly to farmers, ranchers and producers across America to hear what they need and then turning that feedback into action.
We inherited an agriculture economy that had gone from a trade surplus to a forecasted $50 billion agricultural trade deficit, alongside skyrocketing input costs and too much red tape.
So we got to work. We’ve delivered 20 trade deals, with more to come, opened new markets for American agriculture, delivered over $40B in assistance to farmers, strengthened the farm safety net, expanded crop insurance, cut red tape, reduced costs for farmers, and protected American agriculture from threats like New World Screwworm.
We’ve been digging out of the hole we inherited — and the results are real: more trade opportunities, lower costs, a stronger farm safety net, and a USDA that is finally listening to the people it serves.
NEXT UP: While @USDA reports have historically been the gold standard, farmer participation in surveys has been declining for over two decades. Survey response rates were once 85-90% and are now averaging around 40%.
We’re exploring every avenue to modernize how USDA collects and reports data to reduce producer burden, improve collection efficiency, and enhance data products and transparency.
To do this, we’re taking USDA directly to farmers by hosting listening sessions at state fairs and farm shows across America, hearing their concerns and ideas, and finding new ways to improve confidence in our data.
It’s time to bring USDA into the 21st century and make sure our farmers have the accurate and timely information they need. 🇺🇸💪

What a powerful evening at the place where my love for agriculture began. 🌾❤️
Tonight’s Women in Farming panel took place on my family’s Minnesota farm, where I spent my childhood summers learning the values of hard work, grit, and perseverance.
It was incredibly special to welcome @SBA_Kelly, @RepFischbach, @merylkennedy88, @taravanderdussn, Apple Girl Kait, Courtney Schuster, @RadkeAmanda, my incredible mother, @HelenKerwin4TX, and my amazing sisters, Ann and Helen, for such an important conversation about the future of American agriculture. I love you all!! ♥️
As we celebrate the Year of the Woman Farmer, we recognize the more than 1.2 million women who farm across America, managing over 407 million acres and generating $222 billion in agricultural sales.
Tonight was a reminder that some of the strongest voices in agriculture are the women living it every single day. Their firsthand experiences, ideas, and leadership will help ensure we continue putting farmers and ranchers first and creating opportunities for the next generation.
So grateful to everyone who made this evening SO special. And to be back at the place that first sparked my love for agriculture was a top life memory. Thank you, God! 🙏

The devastation from wildfires across the Northwest is weighing heavily on all of us. I’ve been in close contact with our key Governors, as well as @SecMullinDHS and @SecretaryBurgum, to make sure we are working together and doing everything we can to support communities, families, and ranchers impacted by these devastating fires. We are working side-by-side with state and local leaders and bringing every available resource to bear to support those on the front lines.
Much of the Northwest is at elevated fire preparedness levels, with 17 large fires burning amid hot, dry, and windy conditions. More than 19,000 firefighting personnel are assigned in the region to help contain these incidents. Nationwide, the @forestservice has surged resources, with nearly 6,000 personnel supporting response efforts on 102 active fires.
Grateful to our incredible firefighters risking it all to keep communities and families safe. 🙏🇺🇸

🚨Today at Minnesota Farmfest, I announced that @USDA will hold listening sessions nationwide as we develop our new Data Modernization Plan.
Farmers rely on USDA reports to make critical decisions. But declining survey participation has weakened producer confidence in the data.
The farmers who rely on these reports deserve a direct voice in building what comes next. Stay tuned for more!
