\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOne of the highlights at the 2026 American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Anaheim, California, was an address by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. During her remarks, she thanked America\u2019s farmers and ranchers and said the Trump Administration is fully aware that food security is national security.<\/p>\n

She also acknowledged the challenging times in Farm Country with low commodity prices and high input costs and said that\u2019s why the President stepped in to help with the recent Bridge Assistance Program.<\/p>\n

Secretary Rollins said the Trump Administration is also committed to helping ranchers build back America\u2019s cattle herd while also providing more high-quality U.S. beef at the meat case for consumers.<\/p>\n

And she also announced more assistance for specialty crop producers who only received a fraction of the $12 billion Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note that producers who qualify for Farmer Bridge Assistance can expect the Farm Service Agency to start issuing payments in late February. For more information, farmers and ranchers are encouraged to contact their local USDA Service Center.<\/p>\n
