Overview
- OnlyFarms.gov went live Friday as a vanity domain that redirects to a White House agriculture page with an interactive state map and a claim of over $40 billion in aid, including $12 billion in Farmer Bridge Assistance.
- A South Lawn event for roughly 800 farmers featured a gold tractor display as President Trump announced raising Small Business Administration guarantees for agricultural loans to 90 percent.
- The White House also said the Environmental Protection Agency would issue new diesel exhaust guidance that officials said could save the farm sector billions.
- Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, called the “OnlyFarms” name a porn site parody and urged the administration to delete the post and the URL.
- Reports noted farmers face higher fuel and fertilizer costs tied to the Iran conflict and that parts of the aid followed export losses after Trump’s tariffs, context some outlets said the website downplays.
