Farmers are providing a lot more for the nation than your average worker’s 401k. Trump also knows the market will go back up. Farmers that have one bad season can go bankrupt, they have an insane amount of capital in perishable goods. We don’t want our farmers going bankrupt at the start of a trade war

No they don't. People like Chuck Grassely, the Corn and Soybean checkoff boards, Cargill, and JD want a bailout
Multiple commodities will benefit from these tariffs

Well I’m a farmer so I’ll bite.
Cost of production is up
All commodity prices are way down
By the time I pay my
Labor
Rent
Inputs seed chem ferirlilzer
Insurance
Taxes
John deer case IH
The math don’t work.
For anyone on any crop… Maybe outside sugarcane
So call us welfare queens if you want to yoh stupid frick.
American farmers are a pretty viable important segment of this country’s livliehood and existence.

I have nothing against farmers if they would stop pushing for welfare under the guise of "national security."

I’ve never actually met a poor farmer. Do they exist?

No business is guaranteed to succeed. Maybe find another line of work if it requires constant welfare and bailouts.

My uncle somehow managed it, but he was, let's just say suboptimal as a businessman.

I'm guessing you grow your own food and slaughter your own animals?

Constant?
Hmmm
Intersting take Clark.

You think chickens just pop out the egg ready for processing?

I’m ok subsidizing small family farms.
But not the huge corporate farms owned by the likes of Bill Gates and China.
Dumbass, that is where small farmers make enough to farm their own land. Large landowners contract the farming out. They don't farm it themselves.
Sharecroppers make bank in this day and age.

I think the proper term is ”raised.”
Raising might be grammatically correct, but with poultry the farmers are called chicken growers, and the barns are called grow-out houses.

I know you were laughing when you posted that. You know, and I know, that everyone is going to claim they’re vital to national security for selfish reasons. So everyone gets a bailout.

On the other hand... how much of the subsidies are for feeding gas tanks instead of humans or livestock?
The high protein solids, DDGSs, are in cattle feed, it's a co product of ethanol, not by product

If no one is bailing out the average worker whose 401ks have plummeted, why would we bail out these farmers.
Because Trump caused the losses directly with his tariffs.
Same as in 2018 and 2019, when we, the taxpayers forked over $28 Billion to bail them out from the first round of tariffs.
