“the amount of equipment and land payments some of these guys have”

Farmers I know that have large tracts all run family land.. grandpas and farther back.. but non off them really care because they have wells on them also… gotta trade in that combine for a newer one with ac .. wireless sound and video.. heck get the mini fridge one also… .

How many people are buying farms for business ( not hobby) and floating loans

I also know a lot of coworkers with hobby farms but they just use it to write off trucks.. new “work sheds”.. ponds for “ irrigation”

True.

I have a hunch a lot of the money going to farmers is not in the farm to table food chain. $40-50 billion of US taxpayer dollars is paying for CRP and ethanol subsidies.

This is about tariffs. Farmers want the China market back. Trump will have to pay them off with $$$ just like he did in 2018.

Fixing the problems he created with public funds is so America first.

Farmers are women


What do you mean by that? Not a troll question. Are you saying the majority of farmers are women or that farmers complain like women?

He means more aid, right?

Sure, after you've sank the boat you want to throw them a life raft. For better or worse, we are in an industrial farming world where our food supply will be controlled by a small number of giant corporations at the expense of the "American Farmer".
