Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has created the America First Trade Promotion program (AFTPP) and applauded the agency for establishing this initiative. The AFTPP is a $285 million program designed to help farmers, ranchers, and producers leverage new market opportunities through President Trump’s trade deals and export more of their agricultural products worldwide. Applications for the AFTPP are due January 23, 2026.
“President Trump and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins’ leadership has ensured that our farmers will benefit from historic trade deals that finally level the playing field and expand their opportunities for export growth,” said Congressman Baird.
