Here at the Farm Progress Show in Iowa, we are seeing how American innovation can give farmers better tools to do what they do best. Technology like AI can help producers identify pests, determine which crops need water, conserve resources, and operate more efficiently. Innovation should work for our farmers — and keep them firmly in control of their farms and their futures. @FoxBusiness @Grady_Trimble @RapidResponse47

🚨Trump to China will go down as a truly HISTORIC state visit! CONFIRMED WINS FOR U.S. FARMERS: 1. $17B in NEW purchase commitments, in addition to the 25MMT soybean commitment. 2. U.S. poultry will be back on the table in China, as they are resuming U.S. imports. 3. U.S. beef is also on the menu, as China is renewing licenses for more than 400 beef facilities, and is adding new listings. This was the #1 “ask” by our ranchers who want to sell many of the “leftover” cuts of the animal (hides, skins, tongues, tendons, tripe, etc) for additional value. As the United States continues to diversify our overall exports this agreement provides stability in one of our largest markets.

There is tremendous support within the farm community for the new food pyramid. They see it as a clear path to producing healthy, real food for Americans—food that nourishes families, improves the soil on their farms, and improves their own health.

Great speaking with Buck Wehrbein at @CattleCon 2026. Ranchers are essential partners in advancing the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans and restoring a food pyramid grounded in real nutrition. The war on protein is over — and beef is back on the menu.

"Venezuela is going to be purchasing ONLY American Made Products, with the money they receive from our new Oil Deal... A wise choice, and a very good thing for the people of Venezuela, and the United States." - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

"To be able to put the farmers and the ranchers of this country back in the middle of what we will do to save America and save Americans' health is just beyond description." - @SecRollins

My Venezuela experience as head of trading in the region for Cargill. Cargill was/is the leading producer of critical staple ingredients such as flour, pasta, vegetable oil, and rice in VZ. I am not saying I agree with grabbing the dictator, but I did have a front row seat to the damage a kleptocracy did to innocent people. 1. The government took over our "minute rice" facility at gunpoint because we were "gouging" the nation's poor. The government was never able to run the plant. It never ran again. It was returned years later with no equipment inside 2. There are 1000's of generals in the army. They are each given a slice of the economy to loot. The large number of generals made it difficult to organize a coup against the regime. 3. The government opened grocery stores and sold staples below the cost we sold them to the government. In theory they used petro oil money to lower grocery prices. Our regular grocery outlets were forced out of business. When the government demanded we sell them products below cost we simply had to shut down. The populous became ever more dependent on the government handouts. (PS this is the mayor of New York City's proposal. 4. Dollars- We needed dollars to go buy raw materials like wheat from places like the US and Canada. The government would periodically allocate us some dollars that could only be spent for raw materials and freight. Eventually only the local companies that can and would pay bribes got dollar allocations. We had several facilities closed for lack of raw material 5. My employees liked working for Cargill. The office was an armed compound with access to a gym, high speed internet, global communications, and a weekly box of basic staples. Cargill provided a safe and secure environment if only for the working hours. 6. Employees became very close to others inside the apartment building. Going out on the street with a desperate population was not advisable. 7. I needed wood pallets for feed. We tried to export wood pallets to swap for grain. We refused to pay the bribes it would take to export the pallets 8. I once tried to set up a closed loop wheat planting to flour mill supply chain. A. They came and stole all the seed wheat for food. When we tried to ship in seed wheat in containers via US donors there was no way to get it out of the port without it being stolen 9. Livestock- Our feed business completely collapsed. Even if you could raise a pig, you couldn't defend it from being stolen. People with guns were hungry. 10. Employees- In the end my highly skilled team alone with other highly educated people chose to leave. Cargill often found jobs for them in other Latin countries. The regime was more than happy to see the well-educated leave the country. Setting these employees up with high quality stable jobs after fleeing remains one of the best things I ever did in my career. No one remembers millions in trading earnings. This is a short list. In my opinion the first money spent needs to happen now and it needs to be food. The US is already on the clock. The current regime does not care if it starves the population. The orgy of theft will actually accelerate if they believe their days are numbered. VZ should be an outstanding customer of US grown ag products. Rice, bread wheat, veg oil ect. Feed the people first. Jeff Kazin Former head trading Cargill
