Multiple sources confirm that Will Harris and Jonathan (John) Lundgren, both regenerative farmers, attended the White House Oval Office meeting with President Trump in June 2026 where an executive order on regenerative agriculture was signed.

What we found

Supports. Politico reports that Will Harris, a fourth-generation farmer from Georgia, attended the Oval Office meeting where Trump signed the regenerative agriculture executive order.[1]

Supports. The Washington Post describes a White House meeting including regenerative farmers and names Jonathan Lundgren, a regenerative farmer, who commented on the session.[2]

Supports. No-Till Farmer lists Jonathan Lundgren, founder of the Ecdysis Foundation, and rancher Will Harris as on hand when Trump signed the order.[3][4]

Context. Lundgren's own account and Harris's blog describe the visit as a meeting with the president, with the regenerative farming focus confirmed. These are first-person accounts, so they are context rather than independent corroboration.[5][6]

Context. The extracted name 'John Lundgren' differs from the sources' 'Jonathan Lundgren'; the post's own words name 'John Lundgren', so the claim follows the passage.[2][3]
