This Thanksgiving, I’m taking a moment to reflect on the many blessings we enjoy, especially the hard work America’s farmers and ranchers put in day in and day out to produce an abundant and affordable food supply.
And this year, we have even more to be thankful for as Thanksgiving dinner returns to normal prices after record inflation during the Biden administration.
Like the entire agricultural community, turkey farmers work year-round to provide our Thanksgiving tables with the food we know and love.
By 2024, this meant raising 200 million turkeys on approximately 2,500 farms in the United States, the majority of which were family farms. This is no small feat, especially as our farmers face the risk of bird flu and many other challenges impacting our small businesses across the country.

But they continue to do what their parents did and their parents before them: tend the flock and continue the noble act of feeding their fellow citizens.
And President Donald Trump stands behind them.
He is supporting American farmers across the country to ensure they have what they need to continue providing America with affordable food – that includes unlocking American energy to lower gas prices, boosting domestic fertilizer production, reducing regulations to lower the cost of doing business, and most importantly, lowering taxes so farmers can keep more of what they earn.
All of this helps create an economic environment where our farmers and ranchers thrive like never before.
Since day one, the Trump administration has been on a mission to curb Biden’s inflation crisis, halt skyrocketing price increases and lower costs for ordinary families. While this course correction cannot happen overnight, we are working every day across the federal government to make America affordable again.
Under President Joe Biden, we had record high prices, at $64.05 for the average Thanksgiving meal for ten people. Now, under Trump — after just nine months in office — that’s down to just $55.18, or $5.52 per person.

The list goes on.

This year we also benefit from the lowest holiday gas prices since the pandemic. Under Biden, the average gas price was the highest ever during a presidential term. The President’s America First energy agenda is delivering real victories, just in time for us to hit the road to visit family and friends.
As we approach Thanksgiving once again, let us embrace a spirit of gratitude for all the blessings God has given this nation – beginning with President Donald J. Trump.
His policies have begun to unleash prosperity in rural America, allowing our farmers to feed the nation with confidence and eager anticipation for what is on the horizon.
