U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, a Taylorville Republican who helped negotiate the legislation, attended the bill signing ceremony at the White House.

"Today is a great day not only for our farmers, but for our rural communities as a whole," Davis said in a statement. "This process has had its ups and downs, but at the end of the day we got a strong bill that benefits all Americans."

Cory Ritter, who operates a farm on about 2,000 acres of land in Blue Mound, said that he appreciates how the bill has a wide-reaching impact on several aspects of the nation's agricultural industry. He also likes that the bill was passed with a strong amount of bipartisan support.

"I think that overall, it is a very good bill," Ritter said. "It's important to have a safe, secure food supply, and this helps ensure that this is possible."

Trump made quite an entrance Thursday. Minutes before signing the legislation, he tweeted a video of himself at the 2006 Emmy awards dressed like a farmer and belting out the tune to "Green Acres" with "Will and Grace" star Megan Mullally.

"Green Acres is the place to be. Farm living is the life for me," sang Trump, holding a pitchfork and wearing a white T-shirt, denim overalls and a straw hat.
