    Trump Announces $8 Billion Harvest Fuel Relief Program for Farmers

    President Trump has announced an $8 billion aid package for farmers dealing with record-high diesel prices. The Harvest Fuel Relief Program, to be administered by the USDA's Farm Service Agency, will provide one-time payments to farmers to help offset rising fuel costs during the harvest season.

This initiative comes ahead of the midterm elections and adds to a series of agricultural support measures announced by the Trump administration in recent weeks.
