Great time at the @kystatefair seeing all of my farmer friends and visiting all the #KY1 displays in the pride of the counties section. Thanks to @KYAgCommish Shell for escorting me around.

🚨 LAST CALL: Applications for @USDA’s Meat and Poultry Processing Expansion Program for Beef Processing close TODAY at 11:59 PM!

In advance of Fancy Farm Picnic, I want to point out to media: - Since Beshear’s election, there are 311K less Ds & 151K more Rs - KY has 250K more Rs than Ds - KY-1 has 90K more Rs than it had in 2015 😉

Commissioner Jonathan Shell visited Stewart Home & School to officially declare July as Kentucky-Grown Cut Flower Month, recognizing the growers whose hard work brings beauty to communities across the Commonwealth.

This Independence Day, we celebrate the freedoms we cherish, the farm families who help feed our nation, and the values that have shaped America for 250 years. From everyone at the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, we wish you a safe and happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate 250 years of American grit and greatness. Thanks to those who have defended and continue to defend our nation. Thank you to our farmers. For 250 years, they have fed America and remain the backbone of our great country. God Bless America! 🇺🇸

🚨EFFECTIVE TODAY, the @EUCouncil eliminated tariffs on U.S. agricultural products under @potus’ historic trade agreement. 🚨 This is a MAJOR win for American farmers. In the final year of the previous administration, our agricultural trade deficit with the European Union swelled to more than $23 billion… nearly HALF of America’s entire global agricultural trade deficit. This new deal will provide BILLIONS in new market access and export opportunities for our farmers, ranchers, and food producers. The latest trade forecasts show U.S. agricultural exports to the EU on track to hit a new all-time record in 2026! This is real progress for American agriculture and rural communities across the country. @USDAForeignAg 🇪🇺 🤝 🇺🇸

🚨JUST ANNOUNCED:🚨 Today, we're launching the Fertilizer Investment and Expansion for Long-Term Domestic Supply (FIELDS) Program—a $500 million investment to accelerate fertilizer production right here in America. 🇺🇸 We're prioritizing projects that are shovel-ready, financially viable, backed by private investment, and capable of delivering measurable benefits for American farmers. Applications will be open for 45 days and must demonstrate strong financing, market demand, execution capabilities, and real production outcomes. Our goal is simple: Build fertilizer plants in America. Produce fertilizer in America. Deliver fertilizer to American farmers. America First means strengthening our domestic supply chain and reducing our dependence on foreign fertilizer.

This weekend, nearly 1,000 Republicans gathered in Lexington for our annual Statewide Lincoln Dinner. From Paducah to Pikeville, Kentuckians from all walks of life came together to hear from our nominees and party leaders about the path to victory this November. Republicans demonstrated this weekend that we are united, energized, and ready to win this fall. With a strong slate of candidates, a dedicated army of grassroots patriots, and momentum on our side, the Republican Party of Kentucky has never been stronger or better positioned to meet the challenges ahead. Thank you to Commissioner @JShellKY for serving as our emcee, to @barrforsenate, @AlvaradoForKY, @EdGallrein, and Maria Rodriguez for addressing the crowd, and to all of our supporters who joined us Saturday evening and made the event a tremendous success!
