STORY: :: Trump says the U.S. will remove environmental rules to 'help' tractor companies
:: December 8, 2025
"We're going to also give the tractor companies, John Deere and all of the companies that make the equipment, we're going to take off a lot of the environmental restrictions that they have on machinery. It's ridiculous. I know because I buy a lot of that machinery for different things. We have a lot of big clubs with, you know, hundreds of thousands of acres. And I buy a lot of stuff and you buy it, it's got so much equipment on it for the environmental, it doesn't do anything except it makes the equipment much more expensive and much more complicated to work. And it's not as good as the old days. And we're going to take a lot of that nonsense off of the equipment, which is going to reduce. And we're going to do it, and we're going to say, 'you're going to reduce the prices.' We're not going to do it and they're not going to reduce, they're going to have to reduce their prices because farming equipment has gotten too expensive."
"We're going to also give the tractor companies, John Deere and all of the companies that make the equipment, we're going to take off a lot of the environmental restrictions that they have on machinery. It's ridiculous," Trump said at a White House roundtable where he announced aid to farmers hit by his tariff policies.
