Hoeven Statement After White House Great American Agriculture Celebration

Senator Working to Secure Additional Farm Assistance

WASHINGTON - Senator John Hoeven, Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Committee and senior member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, issued the following statement after joining President Donald Trump, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and farmers and ranchers from across the nation for the Great American Agriculture Celebration at the White House.

"We appreciate President Trump and Secretary Rollins for recognizing the vital contributions of our farmers and ranchers, as well as the challenges they face," said Hoeven. "Our producers are the best in the world and it was great to be at the White House with so many of the men and women who provide the food, fuel and fiber our nation relies on. The President highlighted big wins we secured for farm country in the One Big Beautiful Bill, including critical improvements to crop insurance affordability and ARC and PLC reference prices. Importantly, the President agreed with the need for additional agriculture assistance to help get our producers to October when the One Big Beautiful Bill provisions fully kick in. We look forward to working with the administration to advance this assistance for our producers and other priorities to help keep rural America strong."
