# Trump Administration Details $15 Billion in Aid for Farmers Facing Higher Costs

> The Trump administration announced more than $15 billion in payments, loans and assistance for US producers, including about $8 billion in one-time diesel-cost payments and $13.8 billion in 2025 safety-net payments covering corn, soybeans, wheat and rice. Diesel averaged $6.32 a gallon, 70% above a year earlier.

## Why it matters

Large farm aid cushions producers against high diesel and input costs and could sustain planting demand for feed grains, but the payments themselves do not change physical supply.
