President Trump visited Chippewa County near Eau Claire Friday, touting his administration's support for farmers at a roundtable discussion with local agricultural producers in Chippewa Falls.
Trump told farmers he understands fuel and fertilizer costs have gone up because of the war in Iran and the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. He predicted prices will come down when the war is over and hinted that federal help was on the way to help farmers get through the current stretch.

What happened to you is artificial with the energy and with the fertilizer. So we're looking at something," Trump said.
Trump did not get specific on what that federal help might look like or offer a timeline, but he did say he expects things to get better for farmers in terms of costs within 90 days.................
