A room full of farmers rose to their feet for this 👏

2026 ARC/PLC enrollment is open, and every farm needs a new contract—even if you're keeping your current election.
The deadline is December 11.
With changes to base acres, coverage and payment limits, now's the time to run the numbers. The Texas corn checkoff helped support a free decision tool from Texas A&M to help farmers compare their options.
Get the details, deadlines and decision tool here: texascorn.org/2026-arc-plc-e…

Texas corn farmers need a voice in the decisions shaping the future of corn production nationwide.
Four Texas farmers will help guide the National Corn Growers Association's priorities on issues affecting corn growers across the country. And because farming in Texas looks very different from farming in the Corn Belt, their perspectives matter.
Congratulations to Cari Beauchamp, Todd Kimbrell, Russell Williams and Kendal Wright on their appointments to NCGA action teams and committees for 2027!
Thank you for representing Texas and giving your time to serve fellow farmers.

Happy fall, teachers! Corn husk dolls are a perfect harvest-season classroom activity, and the instructions are free and ready to go: texascorn.org/wp-content/upl…. More corn lessons for every age at TexasCorn.org. Know a teacher? Share this with them!
Fun fact: Corn husk dolls are a beautiful harvest tradition Native American tribes have practiced for generations. We hope you get to enjoy it, too.

The rain has come. Now for the question every farmer asks: where does it go? On healthy, well-managed land, more of it soaks in and stays where crops and groundwater can use it. On compacted ground, more of it runs off. We can't control the weather, but we can control how ready the land is for it.
Check out this article from Water Grows. Water Grows is a program that champions the importance of water conservation through a partnership between TCP and NRCS Texas.

Harvest is when a whole year of decisions gets its answer. You made the calls you could. Weather, prices, and costs made the rest. How's your crop looking?

As @MehekCooke writes, farmers aren't asking Washington to set prices. They're asking for answers. If you're a farmer or ag retailer, share what you know. Investigators need evidence, and you have it. savefamilyfarms.us
Washington just discovered a radical idea: check the receipt.
Fertilizer barriers came down. Farmers’ bills didn’t. Now the FTC is asking why.
Farmers don’t want price controls. They want answers. My latest for @NEWSMAX:

Gov. Abbott issued a statewide disaster proclamation to help lower costs for Texas farmers, truckers, & families by expanding access to dyed diesel and increasing allowable weights for fuel, agricultural, & timber loads.
Texas is taking action to keep goods moving & costs down.
Some seasons are harder than others.
"Don’t give up. If you quit, you’re done."
Maybe you needed to hear this today. Listen to what this Texas farmer had to say 👉🏻 tr.ee/do-not-quit-youtube

But how do you get the most value out of TCP? Hear what Braden has to say 🌽

Farmers want ACTION! 🌽
That’s why Texas corn farmers are in D.C. this week, asking legislators to listen, take action and support farmers facing the pressure of rising input costs.
They’re speaking up for the future of agriculture…and for their ability to keep feeding our future.
We appreciate the work of the Senate Ag Committee to move the farm bill out of committee today.
We appreciated the chance to hear from & visit with @DepSecVaden last week in Iowa. Farmers are FED UP with fertilizer prices squeezing the family farm.
Last week in Iowa, I was clear that antitrust laws are to be enforced in this country and that farmers should depend on the price quoted being a result of competition and not collusion. I was honored to join the "Fed Up" hearing, and stand ready to continue engaging to ensure free and fair markets for fertilizer and other critical inputs.
If you have information about anticompetitive practices in the fertilizer market, please visit ⬇️ website for information on how you can report that evidence.

Texas Corn Producers retweeted
FSA is adding 30 million new base acres nationwide to strengthen the farm safety net. Now that the base allocation process is complete, FSA is announcing enrollment in the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs for the 2026 and 2027 crop years.
Texas Corn Producers retweeted
Beginning Sept. 16, 2026, producers can enroll in ARC and PLC for program year 2026. fsa.usda.gov/news-events/new…
