Sen. Fischer on Farm Aid: Trump Opening New Ag Markets Will ‘Solidify His America First Legacy’

Sen. Deb Fischer, of Nebraska, mentioned that Congress pushing through year-round E15 sales will do more to help commodity growers than more farm aid, which is currently a reality.

WASHINGTON (RFD-TV) — Senator Deb Fischer, R-NE, joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss farm aid on the way and share insights on the financial situation facing farmers in her home state of Nebraska.

In her interview with RFD-TV News, Sen. Fischer said more farm aid will likely be needed in the near future.

“You know, on the Ag Committee, we’ve been visiting — especially Chairman Boozman — looking at what Congress can do, as well, to make sure we have that bridge, to be able to give some aid to our farmers to help them through this rough stretch.”

Fischer added that the success of the ag economy in 2025 depends on open markets and outlets for agricultural goods.

“We always want to be positive about the economy, and I think as long as we can get year-round E-15, have that available, that opens a huge market, and those trade deals,” Fischer said. “You know, that’s what’s important here. And the President realizes that. As I said, this is going to solidify his America First legacy among ag producers, to be able to get these markets open.”
