PartialFact-checker reviewConfidence: 85%

All three cited sources are reachable and substantively support the PARTIAL rating for the promise to "fight to enact a Farm Bill" with crop insurance, expanded trade, and conservation. VERIFIED: (1) American Farm Bureau Federation confirms the OBBBA's ag provisions — $5.98B crop insurance, government premium share raised "by 3 to 5 percentage points across all farmer-selected coverage levels" (verbatim), a new trade program at "$285 million in permanent mandatory funding each year" (verbatim), EQIP/CSP/ACEP funding authority through FY2031, and signing by Trump on July 4; the page also notes conservation is redirected IRA funding rather than an expansion, corroborating the rating's own conservation caveat. (2) Adams Brown CPA confirms "A Republican version of the new Farm Bill was rolled into the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)" (verbatim), enhanced crop insurance subsidies with higher SRPs for corn/wheat/soybeans, and July 4, 2025 signing. (3) The PRIMARY Ricketts Senate press release (June 11, 2024, post-dating the 2024-04-15 promise) confirms the direct quote "This Farm Bill framework ensures Nebraska's farmers and ranchers have the tools they need to navigate current and future challenges," plus crop-insurance improvements, the Expanding Agricultural Exports Act doubling MAP/FMD, and the TSP Access Act. PARTIAL is well-calibrated: Ricketts fought for and voted to enact the substance of all three named priorities, but this was a reconciliation vehicle, not the comprehensive 5-year Farm Bill promised. CHAMPIONED is correctly rejected — the primary source shows him expressing SUPPORT for a framework led by Ranking Member Boozman, not lead authorship of the core crop-insurance/trade/conservation titles. FULL is correctly rejected (no comprehensive reauthorization; conservation net-cut). One trivial note: the AFBF conservation quote reads "continues" long-term funding authority (rating paraphrased "extends") — identical meaning, not a fabrication; all load-bearing figures appear verbatim. Rating upheld.
