(WASHINGTON, D.C., October 5, 2026) — Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins issued a statement on President Trump's new executive order to provide relief for our farmers and ranchers by lifting taxes on dyed-diesel. Today's action expected to represent approximately $640 million in combined federal and state savings across about 224.6 million harvested acres.
"President Trump is the most pro ranching and farming president in our lifetime. Energy dominance is at the core of putting farmers and ranchers first. This administration has unleashed American energy dominance, and we are now the largest energy producer in the world as a result. While the Administration has structurally changed the energy sector to secure the long-term future of agriculture, we are now taking steps to deal with short term pressures impacting our American farmers. Thank you, President Trump for signing today's Executive Order enacting enforcement discretion on on-road use of dyed diesel, which will better enable our farmers to deliver America's harvest during this critical time. And I want to thank Vice President Vance for his help shepherding it to the end."
