re: For those of you who don't know, I am a 4th generation farmer.

Welcome to the rest of America. The folks in the rust belt have been dealing with your ills for about seventy years now. Ask the line workers that use to work at Callahan Auto Parts how they felt when Tommy Boy sent the production line to Mexico and China in 1995.

Did we hear you bitching and moaning about Bill Clinton back then? Nope, you were getting farm subsidies and driving a new F250.

me mum was a china soybean

Oh no. Learn to code farm boy

Sorry about the impact.
It’s happening to timber farmers too.

People don’t realize how this all works. They just need male leadership in their lives and love the rhetoric so Trump can do no wrong.

Oh look...a farmer crying for the Government to ensure he can sell his crops at a high price or subsidize him more.


Every soybean farmer family from my hometown all had huge houses and drove the newest vehicles but would cry and cry about how poor they were because the cost to operate and the market rate, then they would get that fat subsidy from Uncle Sam and all was well again. Pretty obvious that some of them were lying about their losses to get larger welfare checks.

You obviously have no clue how farming and the marketing of commodities work. Unlike other businesses who set a price for their product, farmers must accept what is offered on the Chicago Board of Trade less any fees assessed by the local elevator. Any political whim can have a disastrous effect of prices.

. Soybean farmers take a hit for one crop cycle till the dust settles and is given money by Trump to make up the difference which will improve next year and you’ll make more money because of less tariffs.

Farmers suck at understanding economics thus many go broke.

Of all the greenwashing attempts over the years this is the biggest hoax of all. Can’t compete with 100% gasoline, even at high oil prices, without massive subsidies. That shite has ruined more small engines than can be counted.

And it’s driven up the price of virtually everything we eat. ADM pays congressional members a shite ton of money to ensure this BS continues. Makes my blood pressure go through the roof.
