https://www.kwch.com/2025/02/05/trumps-spending-halts-raise-concerns-kansas-farmers-global-stability/"A federal food aid program started under the Eisenhower Administration has temporarily lost funding under President Donald Trumps order to dismantle government spending.The Kansas Farmers Union has warned that the recent disruptions to FFP could eliminate an entire market for Kansas farmers."
Itll certainly be an economic hit to Kansas Farmers, Nick Levendofsky with the Kansas Farmers Union said. Commodity prices are at an all-time low, and farmers are struggling.
Yeah well,your the group in the western part of Kansas that voted for Trump by a margin of 90-95% in those counties both times. Eh come on..if it gets really bad Trump will just fork over yet another subsidy check to you at tax payer expense.

These are people who rely on government but pretend that they don't. Now their pretend world gets to meet the real world.

(24,347 posts)So sick of hearing about these farmers and small town rednecks as if the majority of the country who live in cities or suburbs don't matter. These people deserve what's coming to them. Maybe they'll finally move to a more populated area where liberals have built the economies at so they can finally get a job that will pay a decent wage.
