Washington,
December 8, 2025
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and Minnesota farmers are thanking President Trump following his announcement of a $12 billion aid package for American farmers.
“President Trump is putting American farmers first, and this announcement is further proof of his commitment to their success,” said Whip Emmer. “The Working Families Tax Cut we passed earlier this year strengthens the farm safety net and provides certainty for our farmers, but until that goes into effect, I’m thankful our president is giving farmers the relief they need. When farmers succeed, so does our nation.” “President Trump is supporting American farmers like me and helping us when we need it most. With crop sales down, this has been a hard year for small and mid-size farmers. Today’s action will make a world of difference.” - Steve Burns, Watertown, Minnesota “As a crop and beef producer from Delano, this aid for farmers from President Trump is a lifeline. I’m thankful that the president is giving us the assistance we need to do our work, provide for our families, strengthen our communities, and support American agriculture.” - Gene Gabrelcik, Delano, Minnesota “I am thankful for President Trump helping us get through these high input costs.” - Chris Neaton, Watertown, Minnesota |
