Yet FOX News always seems to allude how Trump had/is hurting ranchers and farmers with his embargoes.

I'm liking FOX less and less with each day that passes.

You think those nice looking tractors only cost a quarter of a million dollars?
Some do and some do not.

Our two big tractors were about $125k and $175k, but we use them mostly for hay and do not do row crops. The biggest row crop tractors indeed can cost in excess of $250k. Specialty equipment like combines can cost twice that, but of course a combine is a combination of a tractor AND an implement and thus includes the cost of both.

Gotta love the segment of “small government conservatism” that sounds literally identical to Bernie when they discuss farmers. Statist gonna State.

Is your stance that small government folks can't have any common ground with bernie sanders?

I'm just clarifying before anyone attacks you.

IB implied that Trump had ZERO support from farmers as a result of the tariffs. He will NOT be happy with these numbers...at all.

Imagine a world where the US relied solely on imported groceries to feed its citizens and what kind of risk that would put us in if there was ever a global threat like WWIII.

Trump calls farmer’s and rancher’s kids spoiled.


Not.


This effing media and their BS.

The responses make me cringe at how many people didn’t actually watch the video and just went along with the headline.
