National Sorghum Producers thankful for USDA Farmer Bridge Assistance Program (FBA) announcement

WASHINGTON (Dec. 8, 2025) - National Sorghum Producers today thanked the Trump Administration for announcing new emergency assistance for U.S. farmers through the Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA) Program, emphasizing the support will provide timely and essential relief as producers continue to face financial pressure. While full program details are still forthcoming, this aid will help bridge growers into next year and offer needed certainty heading into the 2026 season.

NSP board members Garrett Love and Barry Evans were honored to meet with the President in the White House Cabinet Room during today's announcement. "It means a great deal that our challenges are being heard directly at the highest level. Today's announcement reinforced how important this support is for farmers across the country, and I'm grateful for the Administration's commitment to getting assistance out quickly," said Evans, a sorghum farmer from Kress, Texas.

"We appreciate the Administration's recognition of the tough conditions farmers are navigating right now," NSP Vice Chair Garrett Love, a sorghum grower from Montezuma, Kansas, said. "This support through the FBA Program will be vital for producers in the short term, and we are grateful it is moving quickly. Sorghum farmers are working hard to plan for next year, and this bridge will help keep operations steady as we transition into a new planting season."

NSP will share additional details with members as USDA releases full program guidance.
