He made the announcement at a rally in Kansas. The Department of Agriculture is to launch the program, which is intended to offset farmers' diesel costs. Trump used the rally to campaign for Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, who is running for reelection in a competitive race against Democrat Adam Hamilton. The excerpts available give no further details on how the money will be distributed or who will qualify.
