American farmer: Trump 'took away all of our markets'

The White House recently announced that it would be providing an additional $16 billion in aid to American farmers affected by the trade war between the U.S. and China.
quote:
“This trade thing is what’s brought on by the president and it’s really frustrating because he took away all of our markets,” Bob Kuylen, a farmer from North Dakota who grows spring wheat and sunflowers, told Yahoo Finance. “We live in an area where we’re kind of in the middle of nowhere. It costs us a lot of money — over $1 a bushel to get our grain to markets.” In this July 13, 2017, photo, farmer John Weinand surveys a wheat field near Beulah, N.D., that should be twice as tall as it is. Drought in western North Dakota this summer is laying waste to crops _ some of which won't even be worth harvesting. (AP Photo/Blake Nicholson)
quote:
“Our prices are probably as low as I’ve seen them in a long time,” he told Yahoo Finance. “We were losing just about $70 an acre just by putting our crop in [the ground] this spring.”
quote:
“All these countries went to different countries to get their grain,” Kuylen said. “How are we going to get the relations back with them to buy our grain again and be our customers?”

Trump likes to take credit for the economy when it's tracking at about the level it has tracked at since 2010 except in the areas where Trump has actually meddled, and those specific area have turned to shite just like everything around him that he touches.
Can Trump win re-election without the farmer vote?

Why are they using 2-year-old data in the article?

If he didn’t do this, you’d be complaining he wasn’t doing what he promised
Also, why are you ignoring the increase in employment in the manufacturing and steel industries?
America added more manufacturing jobs last year than it did in the last 2 decades

Crop prices arent at all time highs by any means. But they are all up from where they were a year ago..
I'm not clicking on your bullshite, when is the article from? The fact is, his basis price is directly affected by how far he is from any end users, and that has 0 to do with the futures market. And no, if a handful of farmers that think socialism is better than temporary tariff wars that we are obviously winning, that wont keep your president from reelection

It is. I actually work in the industry.
They almost universally adore him. They are smart enough to understand that long term prosperity is worth some temporary pain. Nothing wrong with our country will be fixed without discomfort, which is why politicians have been too afraid to fix anything.
This is the entire reason Trump was elected.

I’m friends with the farmer in Illinois, That has 500 acres of corn and soy. He loves Trump.

Fake farmer news

Getting close to $25,000,000,000 in bailouts for American farmers already.
The farmers I know have always been pretty quick to complain about the folks on welfare who they think are just looking for a handout.
Wonder what they think about it now?
Farmers helped vote Trump into office. Why aren't they held accountable for their actions, which was their decision to elect the most unqualified person in history to POTUS?
This is supposed to be America. Free enterprise. Yet farmers want to be put on Welfare every time they make a dumb decision.
Why?
Let Capitalism do it's thing and give us a chance to get smarter people growing our food for us.

I have a small farm I live at half the year in Oklahoma very close to the Texas border. A lot of people there run small to extremely large cattle operations. I can't think of one person there that doesn't love Trump and not one is getting wealthy off cattle there these days.

Most farmers are MAGA. I don’t know if this thread is going to go the direction you want.

That guy is basically a politician and is vice president of the North Dakota Farmers Union. He's been bitching about one issue or another for years and before Trump ever took office.

I don’t know. Maybe all he has to do is point out that the left would love to eventually confiscate their land and turn their farms into collectives.
