Out by finding other markets. He, like other good Dems that went above and beyond got zero credit.

No fucks left to give!

Being paid to not produce and providing subsidies that based on wrong-headed tariff policies is wrong. Notice the subsidies will go to mostly corporate or food industry farms. It always has, I don't care what they call themselves. A family can own a multimillion dollar piece of fallow land but that doesn't make it a small family owned farm. Actual family owned, small farmers will see little if any of the subsidies.

...I hate to say this, but elections have consequences. And you're about to "find out".

I suspect he will do the same thing again if he pulls this.

at tax payers expense. No doubt he will do the same thing again.

voted for that orange piece of shit, so they should be happy about it.

It is literally what they voted for.

And voted for it

Lived in farm country my entire life in the States and do now in Western PA.

I don't care if they suffer at all. Based on voter returns, they voted for this asshole. I hope they suffer hard under him. I hope they suffer the hardest.

It will most likely be government subsidies to the farmers to keep producing. But that will drive up the government's borrowing hugely. More shallow thinking that makes matters worse is never the solution.

programs to offset the cost.

and we subsidize continued production, then you create a perpetual over-supply issue that could take years to unwind. If we're not going to change the framework of our ag production and ag policy, which we haven't since Earl Butz, then you simply have to trade/export. This is a disaster in the making.

Then we had a grain agreement with the Soviet Union (Russia) that lasted several years until they could build up their own production. But the biggest boon by far was corn production for ethanol as a gas additive, bringing us up to today. Losing market share to countries like Argentina would have long-range implications as well since regaining market share is no easy task. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

Or they’ll just blame it on the “tax and spend” Democratic Party and their slack-jawed base will eat it up.

Mainstream media should have been full of stories like this for months BEFORE the election. I didn't see it.

Lose all that immigrant labor if he succeeds in deporting them. Whenever I see workers harvesting they are almost ALL Latino. And they also scream about water regulations that serve the whole state not just them. I hope Newsome can push back on the orange turds shift in water policies. There was a article today in the SF Chronicle where he said water was for users not the fish. Does the MFer not know we need a thriving ecosystem with fish? He’ll destroy the fishing industry also!

Big Ag knew that.

"... but Trump said the cost of eggs was too high last year."

Suck it up Midwest farmers and your cheap help is going to disappear also.
More than just a little.

Let them feel the pain with the rest of us.

You always have the best articles.......thank you, from all of us

those who engage in farming should take a close look at the word CULTivation.
