.@MosaicCompany, you’re right that U.S. farmers are facing a difficult economic situation, only made worse by the extra $6.9 BILLION they have had to spend on fertilizer since you petitioned the government to place duties on imported phosphorus. This has played a major role in fertilizer pricing in recent years, yet you failed to mention this action in your list of market forces. You have an opportunity to support America’s farmers, those who are growing the food and fuel our world needs, during one of their most challenging seasons: drop your petition to continue duties on imported fertilizers.

New data from the Nebraska Department of Revenue’s Property Assessment Division reveals that property tax collections across the state surged by nearly $286 million in 2025, reflecting an increase of over five percent. This kind of growth is making it increasingly challenging for young people to achieve success and remain in Nebraska. 🌾💼 #propertytax #captaxgrowth

[U.S. EPA @EPA]

EPA understands Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system failures are a MASSIVE issue for farmers, truckers, and other diesel equipment operators. We are actively working to address this issue at Trump speed with today’s latest action to demand information from manufacturers on critical data from DEF system failures.

The data collected will allow us to independently evaluate ongoing system failures and help inform our next steps. This is the first, not the last, action EPA will take on DEF in 2026.

@DryCedarFarms @united I believe it starts in April or May!

Shout out to Barb on @united 5059 to Kearney! Have had her as a flight attendant three different times and is the best! She was super kind to my son and introduced him to the pilots. She definitely makes it the #friendlyskies and reminds me why I choose to fly United!

[Lance Atwater @LanceAtwater]

@DryCedarFarms @united Agreed! Looking forward to them getting the Chicago flight back!

Now we need them to roll back the DEF standards for farm equipment and semi trucks 🤞

FORD CEO JIM FARLEY: “We believe that people should be able to make a choice, as you said, Mr. President."

"And we will invest more in affordable vehicles. This allows us to invest in affordable vehicles made in the U.S., which we will take the lead on."

HEARTWARMING SUPPORT: More than $1 million has been raised for 88-year-old veteran Ed Bambas, who goes viral after sharing that he is still working full-time at a Michigan supermarket following the loss of his pension.

Organizers say they are setting up a secure trust to ensure Bambas can finally retire and live the comfortable life he deserves. They plan to surprise him with the incredible gift in the coming days.

If the Trump administration is going to import Argentine beef to lower prices, can someone call them and tell them to do the same for phosphate?

[Lance Atwater @LanceAtwater]

@Claypohlmann735 Yes, we have had to replace ours twice. Poor quality.

[Zippy Duvall @ZippyDuvall]

We urge the administration to carefully consider the damage importing more beef and cattle from other countries will have as cattle farmers decide whether to invest in rebuilding America's herds.

@soilfarmer92 @CarnahanDennis We use a California Duster… does the best job! Have had it for three years and still works great!

Corn ethanol is a homegrown, abundant energy source. Congress can unleash the power of ethanol by allowing unrestricted sales of E15. Energy dominance begins with harnessing readily available resources on American soil! #AmericasCrop

🌾 The Nebraska State Fair the perfect spot to connect! Our state board member, @LanceAtwater, had a great chat with @RepDonBacon about the challenges our farm and ranch families are facing today. It's so important to keep these conversations going to make sure our community's voice is heard. Together, we can find solutions that truly support our farmers and ranchers! 💪🏼🇺🇸 #StateFair
