We just haven't seen anything like this': Facing higher inflation and economic uncertainty, farmers have less cushion to face tariffs than they did during the first Trump administration.
Trump's USDA has put thousands of farmers in an untenable limbo, by not honoring their signed contracts. Farmers need the money they planned on and are owed. Last night, Senate Republicans blocked my amendment to protect farmers. It's not acceptable to abandon farmers this way.
