President Donald Trump announced a new $8 billion Harvest Fuel Relief Program on October 20, 2026, aimed at providing support to farmers facing high diesel fuel costs during the harvest season in Kansas. The program, which was unveiled at a Republican campaign rally for Senator Roger Marshall, is intended to offset temporary market disruptions and alleviate financial burdens caused by elevated input costs such as diesel prices. Diesel costs have surged by 75% over the past year, reaching a peak of $6.53 per gallon in September before easing slightly to $6.32 per gallon in October. Despite the relief fund, some farmers remain skeptical; John Boyd Jr., founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association, criticized the timing and adequacy of the aid, stating it is "a dime too late and a dollar too short."
