WASHINGTON (KCRG) - Iowa U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley says there will be a bailout to assist farmers dealing with the impacts of the government shutdown and Trump Administration tariffs.

“There will be a bailout and there should be a bailout,” Grassley told reporters Wednesday. “The federal government ought to make up for what they’ve done negatively to hurt the family farmer.”

Senator Grassley said the bailout would likely range from $10 billion to $13 billion.

This announcement follows President Donald Trump’s recent agreement with China to reduce tariffs and resume purchasing U.S. soybeans.

Grassley’s office was unable to provide further details on the plan.
