副总统万斯在周四的内布拉斯加州集会上宣布，将投资13亿美元用于化肥生产，并呼吁当地共和党人支持共和党候选人。
Vice President Vance announced a $1.3 billion investment in fertilizer manufacturing while rallying for Republicans in Nebraska Thursday.
他表示，在做出这一投资决定之前，内布拉斯加州共和党参议院候选人皮特·里克茨一直在为当地农民发声、为他们争取权益。
Vance said Nebraska GOP Senate candidate Pete Ricketts "has been fighting for your farmers" before making the investment announcement.
万斯称，获得资助的两家公司之一——TalusAg——将在该州开设两家生产基地。
He said one of the two companies receiving funding, TalusAg, will be opening two manufacturing facilities in the state.
他说：“这对内布拉斯加州乃至整个美国来说都意义重大：3.2万名农民（他们在美国各地耕种着超过400万英亩的土地）将能够以更低的价格购买到由美国本土生产的化肥。”
“What this means, not just for Nebraska but for the entire country, is that 32,000 farmers, farmers who are farming over 4 million acres all across the United States of America, they are going to have fertilizer at a lower cost and made by American hands right here in the United States of America,” Vance said.
由于伊朗战争的影响，化肥价格一直居高不下。
It comes amid high fertilizer costs due to the Iran war.
为缓解农民的负担，美国政府已出台多项农业相关措施。
在内布拉斯加州这样的农业重州，共和党人一直敦促政府采取措施应对柴油价格的上涨问题。
The administration has made several agriculture related announcements to help mitigate the high costs for farmers in the U.S. Farm state Republicans have been pushing for the administration to do something about high diesel prices amid the war with Iran.
本周早些时候，特朗普总统在堪萨斯州为共和党候选人举行的集会上宣布了一项总额为80亿美元的“丰收燃料救济计划”，称这笔资金将用于补贴农民的柴油费用。
President Trump earlier this week announced an $8 billion Harvest Fuel Relief Program while at a rally in Kansas for Republican candidates. He said the $8 billion will “offset diesel costs during this harvest season.”
他特别提到：“罗杰·马歇尔是推动这一计划得以实施的幕后人物。”
“Roger Marshall is the leader who fought for that to happen,” he said. “Roger got it to happen.”
根据农业部的消息，这80亿美元将用于向农民提供一次性补助。
The $8 billion fund will be available for one-time payments to farmers, a release from the Agriculture Department said.
特朗普还表示，他将允许E15（一种含有15%乙醇的燃料）全年销售，而此前出于环保考虑，E15仅在夏季被允许销售；他还表示这一政策的实施与马歇尔成功连任密切相关。
Trump also said he would make the sale of E15, a fuel blended with 15 percent of ethanol, allowed year-round instead of it being restricted during the summer months for environmental reasons, but he tied it to Marshall winning his reelection bid.
此外，特朗普本月早些时候还签署了一项行政命令，扩大了红色染料柴油的供应范围——这种柴油添加了红色染料以示其免税资格，主要用于农业和建筑设备。
Trump also signed an executive order earlier this month expanding the availability of red-dyed diesel. It is diesel with red dye added to it to signal that it is tax-exempt. It is typically used in farm and construction equipment.
