America First means American Agriculture First. Last week at @FAO's Committee on Agriculture @FAOCOAG, USDA Minister-Counselor Doug Hoelscher and the U.S. delegation stood up for American farmers, ranchers, & producers—championing science-based trade standards that support American exports and backing innovation that boosts farmer profitability & U.S. competitiveness. American farmers continue to lead the way in providing food, fuel, and fiber for the world. #AmericaFirst# #FarmersFirst# #AgTrade# #BacktoBasics#

Ambassador Blanchard: So good to see @USDA Undersecretary Hoskins to discuss U.S. agricultural priorities at the UN’s food and agriculture agencies - from science-based standards at CODEX, to biotech and innovation, to protecting plant and animal health from pests and disease. Close coordination between @StateDept and @USDA keeps American farmers and food security interests at the center of our global engagement.” - Ambassador Blanchard #FarmersFirst#

Wisconsin’s dairy farmers work hard every day. They deserve a president who fights just as hard for them. 🇺🇸🥛      President Trump is doing exactly that — and at @USDA, we’re putting our dairy farmers FIRST.      Read my op-ed in the Wisconsin State Journal on how we’re fighting and winning for America’s Dairyland.👇

The backbone of America. The spirit of America. Our farmers and ranchers. 🇺🇸 On National Farmer’s Day, THANK YOU to the men and women who rise before the sun, work through uncertainty, and carry forward the pioneering spirit that built this nation. You deserve a country that has your back — and under @POTUS, we’re delivering. We have made great progress, but there is still much to do. But that is why we will keep working every single day to put our FARMERS FIRST! God bless our farmers and ranchers. God bless America.

More American-grown food on our children’s lunch trays. 🇺🇸 Today, @USDA announced investments in Harvest to Hallways: ✅ More than $27 MILLION to connect schools with local farmers—bringing this year’s Farm to School funding to a record $47 MILLION across 149 projects. ✅ An additional $50 MILLION available to States for school kitchen upgrades, including refrigerators and stoves, to help cafeterias prepare fresh, wholesome meals. Every child deserves more real, nutritious food grown by American farmers and ranchers. Under @POTUS, we’re working alongside @SecKennedy to put our farmers FIRST, our children FIRST, and Make America Healthy Again! 👉

📌Ambassador Blanchard visited @ClemsonCAFLS @ClemsonUniv, meeting with faculty and leadership from a premier agricultural research institution. 🇺🇸 Clemson’s innovative approach towards agriculture is a great example of American excellence underpinning U.S. leadership in multilateral organizations and putting farmers first. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻🇺🇳 Ambassador Blanchard explored opportunities to connect Clemson’s expertise in fruit research, food systems, and packaging innovation with @FAO, @IFAD, and @WFP, building on President Trump’s vision to bring greater American expertise and excellence to the UN.

🚜 Everything’s bigger in Texas, including agricultural innovation. 📚🫱🏼‍🫲🏻 Ambassador Blanchard visited @TAMU @AgriLife on Friday to explore how Texas A&M’s expertise in research, extension, and public service puts farmers first and can strengthen U.S. leadership and implement President Trump’s vision at international food and agriculture organizations. Gig ‘em Aggies! 💪🏻🇺🇸 #TexasAM# #FoodSecurity# #USUNRome# #BacktoBasics#

🚨 Prime farmland should grow food—not disappear. Today, alongside @epaleezeldin and @johnrich , I sent a formal letter to @GovKathyHochul demanding answers about New York’s decision to fast-track industrial solar projects on some of America’s most productive farmland. When prime farmland is lost, it’s gone forever. That’s land our farmers depend on, land that feeds our families, and land that strengthens our nation’s food security. Governor Hochul has 30 days to explain why New York is moving away from USDA’s prime farmland standards and what it’s doing to protect these irreplaceable agricultural resources. Under President Trump, we’re putting America’s farmers first, protecting our food supply, and preserving the land that feeds our nation.
