- π‘ The EPA, in conjunction with the SBA, has announced a fix for issues with the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system that have impacted farmers and truckers for over a decade.
- β οΈ The DEF system was designed to combat nitrous oxide emissions, but a significant engine deratement to 5 miles per hour occurred if the system malfunctioned or fluid was low, causing major disruptions.
- π― This announcement aims to compel manufacturers to fix these deratements, which will be a significant relief for farmers and truck drivers.
Impact on Small Businesses and Farmers

- π The fix is presented as part of the Trump administration's agenda of deregulation, fair trade, and tax cuts, promising real results for American citizens.
- πΈ The new guidance is expected to result in $727 million in annual savings for farm families.
Deregulation and Economic Growth

- β This deregulation is seen as a crucial step in moving the needle on growth and productivity for small businesses, which represent 99% of all businesses in America and create the majority of new jobs.
- π Small business optimism is reportedly above its 51-year average, attributed to the president's agenda.
Environmental Protection and Economic Growth
