Trump requests $11.1 billions in new aid for struggling farmers

This will be the second bailout for the troubled agricultural sector within the year. The request submitted to Congress is part of a supplemental funding proposal that includes defense expenditures. The proposal seeks to provide $1 billion in aid to farmers growing crops such as corn, soybeans, and rice, and $110 million in aid for Florida producers affected by the late 2025 and early 2026 winter storms.
