“Bingo! Corporate farms usually have the ability to withstand a bad year, or three. On the other hand, one bad year could destroy a family farm.”

It’s bad now in agriculture.
The worst since the farm crisis.
Doesn’t matter the size

Sorry but Capitalists are we either globalist or nationalist. You have to be specific.

How do tariffs on IMPORTS hurt domestic producers? Answer: They don’t.

Why can’t Trump bail out ALL Americans who are hurt by his tariffs? Why just farmers?

So... about that $37T National debt that is ruining the value of the dollar...

Are we just going to ignore that?

Thank you for your reply, I’ve known people who would come home from 9 hours of work with a 95 mile round-trip drive, and cut shatter-cain and velvet leaf for 3 hours so the milo yield would go from 90 to 137.

“ How do tariffs on IMPORTS hurt domestic producers? Answer: They don’t.”

With the tariff applied, it is still cheaper to import the product than to produce it here. The goal is to apply a tariff that is high enough where it becomes cheaper to produce it here. Trump knows this. That’s why the left is fighting it.

I’m sure there an other factors that apply here.

The reason Canada has large tariffs on our imports is due to the huge subsidies to farming here and especially dairy.

Another huge win for China. We get to bail out Argentina while Argentina signs soybean deals with China. Instead of signing deals with US. Can't make this stuff up.
