Trump Touts Farm Wins, Lower Input Costs During Wisconsin Farm Visit
June 7, 2026
President Donald Trump delivered a wide-ranging speech at Kuster Farms in Chippewa Falls, Wis., highlighting what he called major victories for American agriculture while promising farmers that fertilizer, fuel and energy costs will continue to decline in the months ahead.
Speaking before farmers, ranchers, dairy producers and agricultural leaders, Trump said his administration remains focused on improving profitability for rural America through trade expansion, lower input costs, tax relief and regulatory reform.
“We’re with you a thousand percent,” Trump told the crowd. “You’re going to see some very good things happen over the next 90 days.”
Trump acknowledged recent concerns about rising fertilizer and energy prices but predicted those costs would soon retreat.
“Your fertilizer prices are going to go way down,” Trump said. “Your energy is down, your oil, your gas is all coming way down.”
The president also pointed to new trade agreements and increased exports as key drivers of improved farm income. He claimed agricultural exports, including soybeans, dairy, meat and biofuels, are expanding into international markets and noted that China has resumed significant purchases of U.S. agricultural commodities.
According to Trump, average farm incomes have increased more than 20% since his return to office, while agricultural producers are benefiting from tax provisions included in what he referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Those provisions include permanent small business tax deductions, 100% bonus depreciation for equipment purchases and continued estate tax relief for family farms.
Trump also highlighted several agriculture-related policy initiatives, including year-round E15 sales, expanded crop insurance programs, right-to-repair protections for farm equipment owners and the repeal of federal regulations such as Waters of the United States (WOTUS).
“Farmers just want a level playing field,” Trump said while recalling conversations with producers during his first term. “They don’t want subsidies. They want fair trade.”
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins joined Trump at the event and said the administration has worked to reverse what she described as a nearly $50 billion agricultural trade deficit inherited from the previous administration.
Rollins said 19 new trade agreements have been reached over the past year, helping reopen international markets for U.S. dairy, corn, ethanol and other agricultural products. She also pointed to lower fuel, fertilizer and input costs as positive developments for producers.
The event featured remarks from Wisconsin farm leaders, members of Congress and agricultural stakeholders who praised efforts to expand market access, support dairy producers, strengthen rural healthcare and preserve family farms for future generations.
Trump closed by reaffirming his support for American farmers and promising continued efforts to improve farm profitability.
“We love our farmers,” Trump said. “We’re fighting every day to protect and defend the jobs and livelihoods of America’s agricultural producers.”
