I’m surprised the crawfish industry hasn’t gone full bore with this yet. I guess they’re happy to just keep raising prices.
They got a huge bailout for the droughts we had.

They work. I'd rather them than the subharans who eat doriitos and shoot each other.

Absolutely. But the idiots of this board don’t understand nuance and can’t step away from thinking all bailouts = bad. They’re the same people who bitch about corporate and Chinese owned farmland.
If you don’t bail out the small farmers….who the frick do you think will end up owning that farm? At the current rate, most likely Gates or the CCP.

Don’t farmers have crop insurance as a possibility? What crops has the government hurt Arkansas farmers selling? Farming has always been a boom or bust business

Does crop insurance assure full value of your crops? I highly doubt it.
I can’t answer your second question because I have no idea what you’re even trying to ask.

From the OP:
quote:
Other farmers shared similar stories, with one saying, “This time last year, the rice price was about 40 percent higher than it is now. Inputs costs have gone up, fertilizer has gone up, commodity prices have gotten worse. So, after a horrible year last year where most farmers in Arkansas, Delta, lost money, this year is going to be worse ... We have to have ad hoc payments right now to make it through this year.”

You opine with hubris from a place of complete ignorance. Your lack of self-awareness in this thread is staggering.
You arent smart.

Because you’re one of the idiots you referenced. Your ignorance to the fact that yield and revenue protection is a thing doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It just means you’re a moron…yet again opining with hubris from a place of complete ignorance.
Run to Google and try to find some distinction that you think will help you save face.

So tariffs are hurting farmers how? It would be real interesting to find out which person these farmers preferred last November for POTUS when they voted.
Posted on 9/7/25 at 1:50 pm to totospumpernickel
This is what you voted for buddy. No Disneyland and aspen ski trips this year. And maybe you can downsize from Escalades and loaded out trucks every year. Hard to feel sorry for some of these people.

Learn to code.
Seriously though, I don't know their situation but I do no that from the Pacific to the northern states to the Atlantic there has been a big time push to destroy farms that aren't huge billion dollar companies.
Our farmers need protection by doing a better job of getting out of their way. Not checks and subsidies.

Correct.
Crop insurance basically lets you break even on your costs if afflicted by droughts, hail, or other natural disasters. This is designed to help keep farmers going out of business due to those factors.
But it is up to the government to at least try to protect farmers from foreign subsidized crops and dumping. This is why we have tariffs to punish those countries that are bad actors and help stabilize the price here at home.
Indian rice should be heavily tariffed similar to how steel was when canada and china were dumping.

I see you are in an ag thread again acting like you know what you talking about because you know some farmers in Jeff Davis parish
With 0 help from the govt US grows the cheapest rice
India rice farmers are subsidized 100% over the wto threshold
They’ve been dumping rice for 15 years now except when they have a bad monsoon season
China has all kinds of ag schemes that break wto rules
The US has filed multiple complaints against these countries
The WTO is a paper organization
