MORE MARKETS FOR IOWA CORN. MORE AMERICAN BIOFUELS.
Today, I joined
@MikeNaigIA, Acting Under Secretary Michelle Bekkering, and the
@ADMupdates team in Cedar Rapids to see American agriculture at work and announce new opportunities for our farmers.
This facility processes approximately 750,000 bushels of corn every day, turning American crops into food, feed, and fuel for customers here at home and around the world.
Under
@POTUS, we are building on that strength:
✅ Reached an initial deal with Mexico that could unlock a $1.5 BILLION market opportunity for U.S. ethanol.
✅ Announced $10 MILLION for Iowa’s Working Lands Water Quality Project to support conservation on working farms through RCPP.
✅ Delivering more than $1 BILLION in farm safety net payments to Iowa producers this month with increased reference prices from the Working Families Tax Cuts Act.
We’re also expanding American fertilizer production through FIELDS, including a project right here in Iowa, and building the $8 BILLION Harvest Fuel Relief Program to help producers facing higher costs.
Thank you to the Iowa farmers and workers who keep this country fed and fueled.
@USDA has your back.
