Farmers stand to benefit from the current administration's trade and immigration policy; bailouts are part of the program. Bailouts were given out during the trade wars in 2017-2020. Bailouts are expected to pay out in early 2026 as part of the annual farm aid bill due in November.

Not only bailouts, but GOP aligned farmers voted for Trump to remove 2024 H-2A visa reforms that addressed abuse of the system (seizing passports, etc). They didn't want to pay for the H-2A paperwork, but didn't like that undocumented laborers would move from farm to farm depending on conditions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdWrHb8b-c0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdWrHb8b-c0
