Grateful to spend time with @USDA@DepSecVaden! Thank you for stopping by to support #TeamSugar during the #CongressionalBaseballGame. Together, we celebrated the hardworking farm families who keep America fed. 🚜⚾
.@Office@Microsoft I need a live customer support agent NOW. Can’t login because my Authenticator app won’t log in and is stuck in a loop. I can’t contact customer support online because I can’t login. I’m the administrator. Your system is ridiculous.

Honored to join @LAGovJeffLandry and Louisiana’s incredible farmers today at the Governor’s Mansion for a roundtable on strengthening the future of Louisiana agriculture.
From sugarcane and rice to soybeans and cattle, these producers feed America. And @USDA is working hand-in-hand with them to deliver relief, drive down input costs, and open new markets across the world. 🇺🇸
One thing I heard from almost every farmer is how grateful they are to @POTUS for opening FSA offices during the Democrat shutdown!
Farmers First. Always.
@AmericanAir. Flights lately = great. Flight from CHA to CLT arrived 30 min early. We’re traveling w/ our 2yo, so moved to an earlier flight to DCA. Used points on the original flight to upgrade 2 1st. No 1st on new flight. I’d like a points reimbursement. Agents/CR unhelpful
There’s a lot on the horizon for the 119th Congress! Thank you to Carley McLean of @SenateAgGOP, Mike Schmidt of @SenateAgDems, Trevor White of @HouseAgGOP, and Clark Ogilive of @HouseAgDems for sharing their insights on where farm policy is headed. Moderated by Jamison Cruce, Washington Representative of @LASugarcane, this was a thought-provoking discussion with great insights from both sides of the aisle. #Sugar2025
We are thrilled with the timely confirmation of Brooke Rollins as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture today. We are grateful for @JohnBoozman expediting her confirmation, and we look forward to working with her to strengthen U.S. agriculture and ensure a prosperous future for rice.
Jennifer James leads by example creating sustainable practices on her Arkansas rice farm. She wants policymakers to know how difficult times are for rural America and why the #farmbill must improve the safety net when she testifies before the Ag Committee Wed. Here is a preview⬇️
"Unless things change drastically, without a relevant safety net, farm families will have no choice but to continue to ask for more ad-hoc assistance."
Producers like Jennifer James need a new five-year farm bill that strengthens the farm safety net.

While this CR also includes a one-year extension of the Farm Bill, Congress must act early next year to pass a new Farm Bill with an increased Price Loss Coverage program rice reference price into law that will give long-term certainty for rice farmers and our industry.
USA Rice applauds Members of the House on passage of the American Relief Act of 2025, which will provide much-needed rice farmer economic assistance.
We call on all Senators to vote in favor of this continuing resolution.
Farmers are facing the largest two-year decline in income in history.
By the end of 2024, total farm sector debt will hit levels unseen since 1970.
We've already lost nearly 150,000 family farms since 2018. Without action, we risk another farm financial crisis.
I voted in favor of the American Relief Act tonight, which included critical disaster relief, economic assistance, and a Farm Bill extension for our farmers.
America’s farmers need help NOW, and our country does not need a costly government shutdown.
The economic crisis in U.S. agriculture is real. Our farmers are losing money on every acre they manage because of soaring input costs and artificially suppressed market prices. Kicking this can down the road is reckless.
We urge all Members of Congress to support this CR.
We commend @SpeakerJohnson, @CongressmanGT, and other rice industry champions in the House for their commitment to ensuring rice farmer economic aid is a priority. We greatly appreciate the continued efforts from key Senators, including @JohnBoozman to deliver this vital aid.
We thank @SpeakerJohnson for his leadership in delivering much needed economic aid to America's rice farmers.
We urge a YES vote on the Continuing Resolution.
