“83% of farmers and ranchers approve of the president’s job performance. It is the highest level of support for Mr. Trump among farmers since he took office”

Approval of President Trump among farmers in the Corn Belt is on the rise following the signing of the long-awaited U.S.-China trade deal last week.

According to a monthly poll from agricultural trade publication Farm Journal released Sunday, 83% of farmers and ranchers approve of the president’s job performance. It is the highest level of support for Mr. Trump among farmers since he took office, Farm Journal said.

The poll collected 1,286 responses among roughly 5,000 ranchers and farmers asked via text to give their opinion. Respondents were nationwide, but concentrated mostly in Midwest states like Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Nebraska.

I wish farmers and ranchers were also part-time journalist. At least we could trust their reporting.

They also got 22 billion in farm subsidies in 2019

It's no wonder those welfare queens are loving life right now

And I forgot about the ethanol support as well.

I do get a kick out of the msm talking about these "poor" farmers when showing stock footage of several quarter million dollar tractors tooling around in the background.

I'm not really sure how I feel about the farm subsidies

I used to be against them but there is probably some strategic benefit and we just chalk it up to a fiscal loss

If anyone should be subsidized, it's the people that grow our food. At least they provide a necessity, unlike most welfare recipients.

Please inform us what necessity you have purchased for your business and that you are easily making payments on that costs $250,000 (that isn't your house.)

Sure! he’s giving them billions of our tax dollars.

I’m sure they do. Same reason welfare queens love obama. Subsidized Farmers and welfare queens are both welfare whores

Exactly. The weather wreaks so much havoc on farmers at times that most would be better off to sell out and get a job. I want my food grown here in America.
