# Trump says some tariff revenue will go to farmers, but there are legal questions | Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.

> President Trump said on September 25 that the administration will direct some tariff revenue to farmers. House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson earlier suggested such payments could go in a skinny farm bill, but later said channeling tariff money to farmers would be legally difficult. The report noted the Commodity Credit Corporation was used for tariff-related payments in Trump's first term.

## Why it matters

A tariff-funded bailout would support farm incomes and could sustain production despite export losses. The legal uncertainty means the timing and scale of any payments remain unclear.
