They aren’t being hit by Trump’s tariffs.
They’re being hit by Chinese retaliation for Trump’s equalization and protective tariffs, which are necessary due to Chinese currency manipulation and dumping. So it’s just one more piece of the Chinese trade cheating agenda that is doing this to the farmers.
If China played the game straight up, it wouldn’t happen.
Is there a bit of snark here, or is it just me?
, likely using billions of dollars in funding from an internal USDA account,
Seeing is believing...
I’d be okay with some of my tax dollars going to small family farmers. But to the big conglomerates with all their lawyers and lobbyists… eh, not so much.
Yeah, I know that’s probably not fair.
But yet Politico condoned Obama’s bailouts of wind and solar. STFU hypocrites.
Farmers shouldn’t be growing food for red China in the first place. Hopefully this is a one time deal and they either grow food for Americans or just close up shop so we won’t have to use “slave” labor anymore to pick food no one wants
Perhaps in each calendar year $X of Trump-listed Chinese things could come in tariff-free if the Chinese have bought and paid for $X of US soybeans starting from September 1 of the previous year and going to August 31 of the calendar year.
OMG! THIS is worse than giving it to NGOs!-)
OK...
Why is hamburger 6 dollars a pound?
Why are not great steaks 10 dollars a pound?
Why is bread 3.75 for a loaf?
They (the government) are trying to starve us out!!!
I don’t care who the president is!
Do Something!!!
Well No Farmers , No Food
Trump is a nationalist.
The slogan America First tells the world he will never be ashamed nor put on the defensive for that nationalism.
Trump is attempting to KEEP American agriculture American.
As with all things economic, things are complicated and solutions are often imperfect and flawed.
But I voted for a fighter and I got what I voted for.
Trump will fight for this nation on EVERY war front, whether it be business, trade, drug cartels, terrorists or whatever or whoever attacks us.
Farmers aren’t always wise and virtuous. They get into foolish debt at times. We should not bail all of them out.
If it’s from political you know it must be true! Because they know his plans
Democrats won’t go for it because it benefits America and doesn’t favor foreign invaders who are hell bent on destroying the country that put them in power.
Billionaires and corporations and foreign governments whose allegiances are to none should not be allowed near America’s food supply. We all know who they are.
Everything should be done for the American family farms and ranches, as if our very lives and the security of our Republic depends on them. Because we do!

If true that would be better than spending billions on healthcare for illegals.
