USMCA is critical to America’s corn farmers, and it’s up for renewal this July.

The impact is clear: USMCA supports demand for 1.8 billion bushels of U.S. corn, helping preserve key export markets while creating new opportunities for growth.

We’ve all been asking the same question: why is fertilizer so expensive?

Persistent rising costs are driving our farmers out of business, and they’re raising your grocery bills, too. Together, farmers are working together to share their stories and take action. Watch to hear what they’re saying.

Farmers are fed up with the fertilizer industry's unchecked pricing power, and for good reason. This is an issue we've been working on for years, and this week marked an important step forward.

We're proud to join major farm organizations from 18 states at FED UP, a conversation with the Chair of the @FTC, to deliver a unified message: while fertilizer companies post record profits, farmers continue to face mounting financial pressures and farm closures.

It's time for greater transparency and accountability in the fertilizer industry. We appreciate the FTC for listening to farmers' concerns, and we're hopeful this conversation is the beginning of meaningful action to shine a light on pricing practices that have disadvantaged producers for far too long.

In the latest corn leafhopper update, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension entomologist David Kerns says pressure remains fairly stable, with little movement beyond South Texas.

Some stressed fields are seeing 5–6 leafhoppers per plant, but aggressive treatment has helped keep infestations isolated. Most Central Texas corn has tasseled and is largely out of the susceptible stage.

Key takeaway for growers: keep scouting and watch for weather systems moving north from the south, especially if you have second-crop corn.

PASSED: Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026.

This Farm Bill was not written in the halls of Congress, but in the fields and rural communities across our great nation. Every provision is a direct reflection of what we learned during each of the more than 150 listening sessions the Agriculture Committee held.

The 2026 Farm Bill is a win for our farmers, ranchers, foresters, rural communities, and all Americans across our country.

Stress is part of the job, but that doesn’t make it easy. High input costs, policy uncertainty, and the day-to-day workload can weigh heavy on farmers and their families.

During National Stress Awareness Month, we want to remind you: you don’t have to carry it all alone. Check out these resources from @NationalCorn to help support you and your operation: https://t.co/K4FdQjgNPz

"Years of high fertilizer prices."
That's the outlook from USDA Deputy Sec. Stephen Vaden — pointing to limited competition and tight supply.
The fix? More transparency, more production.
Hat tip to @Tyne_Ag for the convo!

Fertilizer. Seed. Chemicals. Equipment.

We've been sounding the alarm on input costs for months. Now, USDA is asking farmers directly what they're seeing on the ground — confidentially.

If costs are squeezing your operation, this is your moment to be heard: https://t.co/jXwOLvsw3y

Stable markets matter...and so do the jobs they support.

USMCA helps keep trade flowing for farmers while supporting 28,700 Texas jobs tied to ag exports to Mexico and Canada.
