I know too many farmers that are addicted to the teat of gubermint programs...
I asked one once if they would give up gubermint subsidies at a rate of 1:2 for a tax cut.... Meaning they would forfeit 100 bucks of subsidy for a 200 buck tax cut...
He said he wouldn't...
This is a YUGE problem.
More fake news.... Trump base threatens to desert him.
Where have we heard that before? I guess Stormy Daniels is getting the desired result...
Nonsense
Once agin the Slimes is playing the globalist card
Did the former executive editor of the NY Slimes let you hold and caress her Obama Comfort Doll for posting this garbage?
Former NYT Executive Editor (Jill Abramson) Keeps Barack Obama Therapy Doll In Her Purse

A former New York Times executive editor keeps a Barack Obama therapy doll in her purse, she wrote of herself in an op-ed The Guardian published Wednesday.
Jill Abramson, 63, the former executive editor for The New York Times from 2011 to 2014, claimed she keeps a therapy doll of the 44th president to get her through the Trump Administration, she wrote in The Guardian Mar. 7th. The Harvard educated journalist previously wrote an Obama Administration book, “Obama: The Historic Journey,” published in 2009.
Abramson discussed a so-called “Trump rebellion,” alleging there is a solid chance Democrats will win the Senate, House and possibly the White House in 2020. The Ivy League educated journalist is carrying the “little plastic Obama doll” until the possible Democratic victory.
“It’s easy to look at what’s happening in Washington, D.C. and despair. That’s why I carry a little plastic Obama doll in my purse. I pull him out every now and then to remind myself that the United States had a progressive, African American president until very recently. Some people find this strange, but you have to take comfort where you can find it in Donald Trump’s America,” Abramson wrote.

With the GMO higher-yield seeds, chemicals and fertilizers, planting costs are higher, so farmers go for high yields. And many have moved to more acres in soybeans as the yields per acre are less but prices are now around $10 bu. not counting the basis or if you store your crops in your own bins (some risk with that, too, but plenty seem to do it).
There are a lot more factors and variables.
You forgot to post this from your from your favorite slamming Trump source, the NY Slimes!

[ FULL TITLE ] [ Communist Apologist New York Times Partners with Communist Apologist Jane Fonda to Celebrate Communist-Launched “International Women’s Day” ]
“To support and honor womankind Pomelatto and The New York Times collaborate to spread a message of positive female empowerment for International Women’s Day. Through a NYT article (and video) detailing important milestones in the women’s movement…with an international cast of powerful women (prominently including Jane Fonda), the new partnership champions female achievements, leadership, and gender equality.”
“What makes me angry are bullies & liars who are in control,” declares an earnest-looking Hanoi Jane in the Pomelatto/New York Times video.
Fine, Ms Fonda and New York Times, let’s talk about some bullies and liars:
Fidel Castro and Che Guevara’s regime jailed 35,150 Cuban women (many of them actually girls in their late teens) for political crimes, a totalitarian horror utterly unknown—not only in Cuba—but in the Western Hemisphere. This is the regime hailed by so many western “feminists.” Some of these Cuban ladies suffered twice as long in Castro’s Gulag as Alexander Solzhenitsyn suffered in Stalin’s.

“It’s the retaliation risk,” Mr. Gould said from his kitchen table in Maple Park...

What is it with the MSM. They interview a farmer it’s inevitably at their kitchen table. Is it part of the down-home shtick the media feels they need to provide in the story to make it sound authentic?
The NY Times ventures into flyover country. Their concern is heartwarming.
Most farmers I know vote democrat. If they grow grain they are on the gov handout wagon. Cattle farmers totally different story. Beef imports are killing them.
This is fake news. The rest of the world does not grow enough food, they need American farmers more than we need them.
My, how far we have fallen.
You #nevertrumpers sure love the NYT.
I still love Trump and would vote many more times for him.
Heh, choke on it!
All hype, none of it is real. California Feeds the Entire Country and the USA feeds the rest of the World. Without the USA the world will starve
Fake news. We sell those food products to countries that don’t want their sources of those supplies to be embargoed—ever. And as for soybeans? Cover crops, plastics shops, cooking oil and fuel. They can be used here.
