31 STATES are taking action to lower costs for American farmers and ranchers! 🇺🇸 ⛽️ As harvest season continues, @SecRollins is calling on remaining governors to follow suit and support @POTUS’ emergency dyed diesel relief initiative. Lower costs. Less red tape. More relief for American agriculture. 🔗

RT @SecRollins: America needs the next generation of farmers, ranchers, and agricultural leaders. At Delaware Valley University, they’re already getting to work.      Today, I joined @RepBrianFitz, President Benjamin Rusiloski, university leaders, and students in Doylestown to see that work firsthand.      Here, students help run farm operations across three campuses, turning classroom lessons into practical experience with livestock, crops, and the technology shaping agriculture.      Our message: Smaller agricultural universities have a BIG role in America’s future.      With the average American farmer now over 58, we need more young people ready to carry this work forward.      We discussed how @USDA can help through:      ✅ Education and workforce training programs.      ✅ Research partnerships and opportunities to modernize facilities.      ✅ Hands-on experience with data, robotics, and precision agriculture.      Under @POTUS, we’re preparing the next generation to strengthen our farms, support rural communities, and protect America’s food supply.      Thank you, Congressman Fitzpatrick and the DelVal Aggies, for welcoming us! I am so inspired - I MAY BE BACK AS A GRAD STUDENT!!!!!

RT @SecRollins: Thanksgiving dinner for 10 for just $35! 🦃🇺🇸 President Trump is delivering on his promise to bring down costs for American families — and the private sector is answering the call, including @Walmart! Thanks to President Trump’s pro-growth, pro-business agenda of cutting burdensome regulations, lowering taxes, and unleashing American prosperity, companies are finding new ways to deliver savings to hardworking families. This year’s Thanksgiving meal basket is proof of that progress: 18% more items at a 12% lower cost than last year! There’s still more work to do, but this is what happens when we have a President fighting to lower costs and private sector partners stepping up to deliver. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT! 👏🇺🇸

RT @SecRollins: Protecting American agriculture starts at our borders. Joined @RepCiscomani, @USDA_APHIS, and @CBP in Nogales, Arizona for a firsthand look at the critical work protecting our farmers, ranchers, and food supply. From produce inspections and detection dogs to seeing contraband intercepted at the border, every safeguard matters. We also reviewed our aggressive fight against New World screwworm: ✅ 1.6 BILLION+ sterile flies released. ✅ 100 MILLION sterile flies released weekly. ✅ 2,300 drone flights surveying 39,000+ animals. ✅ $25 MILLION committed to an Arizona sterile fly dispersal facility. The fight isn’t over, and protecting American livestock remains our top priority. Grateful to our CBP and APHIS teams working every day to keep American agriculture safe!

RT @SecRollins: Protecting America’s borders means protecting America’s ranches. Got a firsthand look at border security from the saddle alongside the dedicated men and women of @CBP Horse Patrol in Nogales, Arizona. What happens at our border doesn’t stay at our border. Strong borders help protect our ranchers, livestock, food supply, and agricultural economy. From patrolling rugged terrain and national forest lands to safeguarding American agriculture, the work of CBP, @forestservice, and @USDA_APHIS is critical to protecting our land, natural resources, and communities. Grateful to those who ride the line, serve our country, and work every day to keep America safe.

RT @WhiteHouse: THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION BACKS AMERICA’S FARMERS & RANCHERS 💚

RT @TexasFarmBureau: Texas Farm Bureau thanks President Trump for taking action to allow emergency use of dyed diesel on highways to help lower diesel costs and provide much needed relief to farm and ranch families. In addition, the $8 billion in harvest fuel relief is welcome and much-needed support. This administration heard directly from farm country and delivered. Fuel expenses impact every acre farmed and every commodity hauled, making these actions especially meaningful during a difficult economic period for agriculture. Although more work remains to address the challenges facing farm and ranch families, this is a step forward.

RT @SecRollins: 🚨 TUESDAY TAKEDOWN: STEAL SNAP. GET BUSTED. More than $1 MILLION in alleged SNAP fraud at a Michigan convenience store. Mohinder Singh, operator of Romario’s Party Store in Lansing, was indicted on one count of theft of public money and nine counts of SNAP fraud. Prosecutors allege he: ▪️ Gave customers just 50 cents in cash for every $1 in SNAP benefits. ▪️ Accepted SNAP benefits to pay off personal debts and store credit. ▪️ Exchanged benefits for ineligible items. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison for theft of public money and up to five years for each SNAP fraud count. SNAP is meant to help families put FOOD on the table. Taxpayers should never bankroll a fraud scheme. Report suspected SNAP fraud ➡️

RT @RepCiscomani: Proud to join @SecRollins for the ribbon cutting of the new $12.4 million state-of-the-art lab at the Southwest Watershed Research Center in Tucson.
