President Trump is threatening to restrict technology exports and impose new tariffs on Chinese imports following China's move to further restrict rare earth minerals. AFBF implores leaders to act to help farmers.

The final NYS budget included several key wins for dairy farmers.
While some priorities fell short of requested funding levels, we will continue working with lawmakers to support the long-term success & sustainability of NY dairy.

AM #AgriTalk - @Tyne_Ag news. @ChipFlory discusses conditions for rural banks with Alan Hoskins, president American Farm Mortgage. Then it's time for the Farmer Forum with @BradNel76 MN and @CornKng333 NE. Live at 10:06CT!
Wide look back at #hpai#h5n1 around dairy farms and cattle. Unsettling, @VTAgencyofAg has reduced farm bulk milk tank testing to every other month. #northeastag
America should NEVER rely on Russia, the Middle East, or foreign adversaries for the fertilizer that powers U.S. agriculture. 🇺🇸
That’s why we launched an all-of-government effort to reshore American fertilizer production, strengthen supply chain security, cut input costs for farmers, and fast-track domestic manufacturing.
The United States currently imports nearly 20 million metric tons of fertilizer annually — representing roughly $9 billion in foreign purchases every year — despite already producing more than 22 million metric tons domestically.
This is an economic issue, a farm security issue, and a national security issue.
We’re moving at Trump speed to bring fertilizer production back home, reduce dependence on foreign competitors, support American jobs, and deliver long-term fertilizer independence for the farmers who feed, fuel, and clothe this nation.
That includes helping accelerate projects like CF Industries’ proposed $3.7 billion Blue Point ammonia facility in Louisiana — projected to become the largest ammonia plant in the world and produce 1.4 million metric tons annually right here in the United States. We are making HUGE progress — so grateful to @potus and my fellow Cabinet @SecretaryWright, @epaleezeldin, Director Kevin Hassett. More announcements coming!! The work continues.
Drivers should have the option to fill their gas tank with E15 in every state, in every season. This option will save them money and support American agriculture. It’s time to get this done.
Drug addiction and physical dependence are NOT synonyms.
This is a common lie the media tells about prescription opioids.
Then really sick people—like your grandmother with terminal cancer—are denied pain medicine. Evil.
