President Trump has requested $11.1 bln from Congress in emergency aid for struggling farmers, submitted as part of a supplemental appropriations package that includes defense spending. The proposal would allocate $10 bln for corn, soybean and rice growers and $1.1 bln for Florida producers hit by winter storms in late 2025 and early 2026. This would be the farm sector's second bailout this year; the funds remain subject to congressional approval.
