# Trump says he'll use tariff revenue to bail out farmers

> President Trump said he will use tariff revenue to provide cash bailouts to farmers struggling with trade uncertainty and other headwinds. Trump officials expect Congress must authorize the funding and hope to include it in an omnibus package due by November 21. Payments would likely begin in early 2026.

## Why it matters

Aid tied to trade losses could keep farmers planting and holding crops, limiting near-term supply pressure. The delayed rollout means the cash effect on prices is mostly a 2026 consideration.
