Congressman Baird Statement on Trump Administration’s Farmer Bridge Assistance Program
Washington, December 9, 2025
Today, Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) released the following statement after President Trump announced the Farmer Bridge Assistance Program, an economic assistance package for American farmers:
“President Trump and his administration have made it clear that they will put American farmers first. Previously, our farmers and producers were struggling under unfair trade practices and rising input costs as a result of Biden’s inflationary agenda. This historic investment will provide much-needed economic relief until farmers can benefit from the upcoming increase in reference prices passed in the Working Families Tax Cuts. I was proud to see that one of my constituents, Tyler Everett of Everett Family Farms, joined President Trump, Secretary Rollins, and Secretary Bessent for this historic announcement that will help fix our great ag economy. I thank the president, Secretary Rollins, and Secretary Bessent for their continued efforts to ensure our farmers thrive and to create a more level playing field on the world stage.”
