The Trump administration has pledged more than $15 billion in agriculture aid before the midterms, mostly for diesel and fertilizer costs. The USDA also plans $13.8 billion in safety-net payments for 2025 crops, and more than $8 billion is a one-time diesel payment plan.
Aid payments can keep farmers planting and holding acreage, which is mildly bearish for prices over time, while lower diesel and fertilizer costs could ease production expenses.
