Dec. 9, 2025
Source: Association of Equipment Manufacturers news release
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) Senior Vice President of Government and Industry Relations Kip Eideberg issued the following statement on the new economic assistance package for farmers:
"America's farmers and ranchers need public policies that help them stay profitable and resilient so they can continue their mission of providing safe and abundant food, fiber, and fuel for the world. Equipment manufacturers are grateful for President Trump and Secretary Rollins' leadership to negotiate new trade deals, open new export markets for producers, and boost the farm safety net.
We applaud USDA's new $12 billion economic assistance package -- a strong and decisive step towards shoring up the farm safety net and delivering much-needed relief to America's producers. The economic assistance program announced today is a shot in the arm for farmers and ranchers until investments from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act come into full effect next year.
Equipment manufacturers remain committed to helping our customers navigate trade disruptions and geopolitical tensions. We will continue to advocate for the swift passage of a new Farm Bill to make critical improvements to the farm safety net and improve access to precision agriculture technologies, helping farmers maximize efficiency and productivity. When farmers succeed, America succeeds."
