    78% of top farming counties voted for Trump and his clearly defined policies less than a year ago, so I fail to understand the complaints.

    If they wanted cheap migrant farm labor and global markets to buy their goods, they should have supported another candidate for President loudly and overwhelmingly.

    As a result, farmers can raise what they pay to entice American labor and sell their soybeans cheaper domestically. If they didn’t do the math ti determine if their politics were profitable, they can relinquish the businesses they mismanaged, and better people/companies can take over the land or it can return to nature.

    Cheap healthy plant protein, more intelligent replacement farmers, and/or less factory farming dumping nitrates in the Gulf seems like a win for everyone but those who willingly chose this path.

    I love that the farmers in this article are complaining about being destroyed by climate change. Which doesn’t exist according to Trump and will not be even slightly fixed, but made much worse by his policies. But it doesn’t matter, because the trade war the big baby started will put the farmers out of business even faster than climate change ever could.

    The levels of stupidity are mind blowing.

      Climate change? No, that can’t be it. One person in the article points out that:

      “The weather is in the control of a higher power"

    Despite his troubles, Maxwell remains supportive of Trump, saying that he is “going to be patient,” adding, “I believe in our president.”

    Jesus Fucking Christ.

      They haven’t learned, they won’t learn, and they will never learn.

        Nope. If they die from Trumps machinations, their kids will ask “why did Biden kill daddy?”.

        No, they won’t learn shit. That’s the only way to get them out of the gene pool though and they’re choosing it themselves so, clean hands.

    What if we stopped growing so many soybeans for export, and instead grew crops to feed human people in the United States? I know I know, it’s crazy talk.

      I’ve always spoke out about corporations. I hate big corps. I have always wanted to get big corps out of running farms.

      Fuck it! Hey Tyson, hurry up and buy up every fucking meat farm out there. Bill Gates, buy up whatever is left! Make these fuckers that inherited their pappa’s farms have to work the land after selling it. I don’t fucking care about them anymore.
