# $15 Billion in Promises to Farmers in the Final Weeks: Diesel Money, Rancher and Fisherman Loans, and a Midterm Map

> 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.

## Why it matters

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.
