“from the deportation of the industry’s key migrant workforce”
Tons of people claiming to be “homeless” and in need of handouts and fwee housing.
Put ‘em on a truck and out to the fields. No excuses.
Farmers are more like democrats all the time. Never saw one at any time that did not have his hand out for a gimmie or that did not claim he is broke or struggling yet drives a new pickup. Not enough that they got well growing corn for crummy fuel or get some kind of relief payment for me st weather events. The local st of gimmies is long.
Not sure what the long term solution is...Pondering...
This is precisely what China does. It’s not a bailout, it’s protecting domestic interests from retaliatory trade policies. Trump should increase Chinese tariffs proportionally to the harm they are doing to our farmers.
If govt policies caused this problem, the govt has an obligation to make it right. The fact that they are growing the food we all need to live, makes this an easier decision.
The is the kind of BS propaganda one expects from cnn.
This is precisely what China does.
Fantastic. Nothing say patriotic American onservativism like mirroring Chicom policy.
Consider the source...
It’s not just China, many other countries do the same.
See my reply #9.
Sigh.
Don't China and Bill Gates also own much farm land?
You boys best do your homework. I know thats hard for some of you to do.
Study what the Benjamin Harrison retaliatory tarrifs did. The result was the 1893 depression which was only surpassed by the great depression.
And..Grover Cleveland got the blame. Similarity is that Cleveland did not serve consecutive terms. Just like another that is in officenow.
Less farms, less food. Lets see how well that goes.
Stupidity on grand display.
The Chicoms own hundreds of thousands of farming acres in the United States, do they get cash too? You know, a side business for the countless marijuana farms they own.
“massive”
Riiiight. Pittance compared to the checks written by autopen.
Paid for by DOGE savings.
they’re not growing the food we need, the were growing the soybean for china... yeah.... they choose poorly....
why? because they can always rely on gov’t bailout.
this is socialism, farmers needs put themselves up by their .. some sort of strap they use.
Tightwads.
US Treasury announces full-scale bailout for Argentina (20 billion)
"Secretary Bessent stated the US is ‘ready to do what is needed to support Argentina and the Argentine people"
“ So not just soybeans, although I think they’re probably the top of the list, but corn, wheat, sorghum, cotton, et cetera.”
Not much migrant labor, if any at all, is used for those crops. And simple seasonal agricultural visas can be used for the rest, since Americans won’t do ag jobs. No reason at all to think that expelling all illegals will be a problem.
The biggest problems for most farmers are ones caused by government - taxes, inflation, restrictions on water and chemical access, etc.
