Yes, because limiting your markets is the best kept secret of the business world? We’re they not able to sell as much agricultural products in the US as demanded before this?
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll buy it for next to nothing, use it to make ethanol, and add it to gasoline so the oil producers are able to maximize their profits by selling us a product that uses less of their precious gasoline, reduces our gas mileage, but costs the same.
I know this isn't the time. But.... my parents have made soy bean soup all my life and it's so good. Boil them with canned whole tomatoes, and onions and celery, garlic. They are wonderful. But yeah, we don't need 1929 as a side dish.
Don't forget prison labor. When they round up all of the immigrants and put them in a private prison with other POC and the LGBTQ, they will have all the free labor they need.
No they will let the children do that, they have to pay for their lunches, they have to start pulling in their own weight, food ain’t cheap, ya know..😅
We shall be like Russia in no time, based on this idiot's idea of tariffs. So he thinks a farm can just grow s***, harvest s***, and we shall eat s***, unbelievable.
Maybe the plan is to bankrupt them, then make them an offer they can’t refuse. One of the steps of a government takeover, seize the means of production.
And, just as they did 2x the last time, millionaire Senators Grassley and Ernst will be the first to belly up to the trough to the detriment of small, particularly Black, farmers.
Oh I'm thinking no bailout but back to the 1940's commodities for low income people. The corporate farms will be in deep dip because the international market is not going accept unsafe ag products.
He really hasn’t a clue, or a care, about how anything works. This year’s crops are already planned, loans arranged, seed purchased, etc. They can’t turn on a dime.
Doesn't this idiot know that there's only so many consumers in America? Who are they gonna sell it to? They're gonna lose foreign accounts, food stamp income, & USAID accounts. They're about to suffer cataclysmic financial burdens. It's worse than last time when he had to fork over $16b of our taxes
No one outside would buy it anyway because he demolished the food safety regulations.
Even before that, certain American foods were banned in EU. Now that there is no control and screening for salmonella, listeria etc, who in right mind would even eat American food?
I read something somewhere that he and Trump's son connected and invested heavily in a video, AI, some kind of digital company. After he referred to Trump as Hitler and before Butler PA. Then tapped for VP.
Tag that ask to one of the MSNBC talking heads, however after the softball questions and handwringing today with the 3 (pro-repub)? voices today, don't hold your breath.
They’re putting small family farms out of business $ are selling all our farmland to China & Saudi Arabia. When people vote against their own interests…this is why city folk think country folk are stupid…because of this behavior… it’s indefensible STUPID behavior!
I experience it because I'm from a big city and they don't like people from big cities. And here, they voted for someone who will take it their land from them.
I would do everything in my power to not let that happen to myself.
They're selling the farmland to Cargill, Archer Daniels, Bunge, etc. Big corps want the land to squeeze more money out of our pockets more than China and Saudi Arabia do. After all the small farms go under the big corps will get the land at a huge (yuuuuge!) discount!
It's easier to steal money than it is to work for it.
I wonder why Ivanka (clothes wh*re) trademarked a voting machine? China 2019. Hmmm, let me guess.
Hoe-cums is quickly moving in the steps of Herman Goring a top man in the 3rd Reich collecting the Jews. But right now Hoe-cum is hiding deporties in hotel rooms. The shit is so incompetently... Americaism of stupid.
MAGAS turn their focus on transgenders in public bathrooms.Rapists use public bathrooms & felons,& child molesters. It’s ok if they are the correct sex,right?Is your 3 year old son allowed in a woman’s bathroom or will you send him to the men’s room alone?The complications of using a public toilet.
This is what it cost us last time. But I am doubtful there will be a bailout this time. What we will see is a transfer of wealth to private equity firms. Interesting that Vance has invested money in AcreTrader, an app that sells shares of real estate investment trusts.
“The Trump administration gave more taxpayer dollars to farmers harmed by the administration’s trade policies than the federal government spends each year building ships for the Navy.”
One thing for sure, any money spent to offset economic pain, will NOT go to 💙states.
That's a really fucking stupid response, do you know what state grows the majority of the produce in America? CALIFORNIA. And all of those conservative farmers got bailouts, that's why they support Trump.
Canada here. Canada's domestic producers are enjoying an influx of Canadians turning away from anything American, including travel plans to the US. The patriotism here is comforting - we are uniting here like I've never seen before. 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
I’ll have plans to visit Canada for the first time in July… I hope I’m allowed in. 🙃 I plan to wear something at all times that says ‘I voted for HER!’
Yes! Everyone I know is going out of their way to avoid anything from US. We would rather go without or buy from anywhere else than buy food from US (also no gov. watchdogs to keep us up to date on recalls, so 😱). I will gladly spend an extra hour at the store to make sure I’m getting it right.
Same... it's like a weird scavenger hunt: toothpaste, batteries, raisins... but I love it. I feel like we can all make a HUGE difference if we keep this up. 🤞🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Love it too, it feels empowering in times that feel so out of control. And it IS making a difference! Canadian product sales are up 4,5% for the fist week of February when we were just getting started. Wait until they feel our US tourism boycott this summer.
Agreed 100%! It's so important to realize WE hold the power to fight the political insanity - even better to know we're helping to build a stronger country in the process 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Wouldn’t they have potential for a bigger income if they have worldwide market access?
Sounds like he’s going to limit farmers income and if he does that long enough, small farmers are going to have to sell their farms.
This sounds like a win for industrial farming.
Donation to cryptocurrency?
so basic food prices rise in the USA possibly meaning people buy less product than before...AND....tit for tat tariffs make USA produce overseas uncompetitive meaning farmers don't get export orders
I predict a lose/lose for the farmers and consumers
Our farmers depend on international trade, especially with Canada and Mexico. That’s because most farming is for commodity production. Fruits and vegetables you buy at your local farm stand are considered “specialty crops” and are only 15% of U.S. farm production.
I seriously don’t understand that but then they are in a cult with a tv personality, convicted felon, rapist, insurrectionist, tax cheat,highly classified documents thief, rapist, BK 6x, fake elector schemer, racist.
Just in LOL: Sen. Susan Collins on Trump’s tariffs: “I'm very concerned about the tariffs going into effect. Maine and Canada's economy are integrated. Much of our lobster, blueberries are processed in Canada and then come back over.We have a paper mill in northern Maine that's right on the border.”
Demonstrating once again that donOld has no clue about economics, the farm business, or pretty much anything else for that matter.
Further proof he must have failed Econ 101.
They need to publish, on a daily basis, his long, long list of failed companies. And then put USA at the bottom of it. Billboards, FOX commercials. Tell their audience all the things they still don't know about him.
Reportedly, the US is self sufficient with food. It imports specialty foods, seasonal foods not grown in winter and tropical foods. One grain imported is barley. Not much to be sold internally. But lots for export. Those will be hit by tariffs and products that get imported will increase in price.
It’s ironic to me that the MAHA crowd would cheer this. I thought they wanted unprocessed food for all yet with this escapade where will all that healthy food come from? And at what cost?
Hey dumbass, every farmer in the country has already purchased what they’re going to grow based on where they are going to sell it… You just royally fucked and bankrupted most of them.
Period. I have NOTHING. WAIT until they cut medicare and social security. The red states think they're hurting now that ain't seen shit yet. And I'm HERE for it
For starters, they couldn't bring themselves to have a woman lead. 2nd, she was "too brown", and anything she proposed would've helped black and brown which is fundamentally against what they stand "for". The Farm bill was extended from the Biden administration which Kamala was the deciding vote.
How quickly they forget that EVERY republican voted against it. This wasn't about liberty, it was about hate, racism, misogyny, sexism, and classism. They were ok with having an Unqualified Rapist Felon as long as he was white & male. Now they're getting fucked by that same man. Oh well🧑🏾💻👁️
They won’t believe trump would do this to them. They’ll continue to support him, waiting for the big windfall, until they go bankrupt and lose their farms.
Bankruptcies soar so Vance and Friends buy for 25% on the $
He got the farmers must buy numbers from Canada and Mexico last term 1/29/2020
Best trade deal ever?
So China went to Brazil
So now he destroys the Farmers again!
$38 Billion bail out last term.
Devasting one two punch for farmers & consumers. Tariffs + Mass deportations. 42% of US farm workers are undocumented, & tariffs on agricultural imports will trigger retaliation, slashing farm exports. Trumps last trade war cost farmers $27B due to retaliatory tariffs. What will EU tariffs do?
Brace for the economic shockwave: tariff wars, mass deportations, government purges, soaring debt, tax cuts for the wealthy, and the EU bypassing the U.S., redirecting trillions elsewhere. As global markets shift, America faces financial isolation and economic instability.
russia supplies it :/ but on the funny side, that wont matter when he accelerates climate change with drill baby drill...the only thing that will grow is dust and malcontentedness
Indeed I stand corrected, or maybe thats the GOP plans, after measles or some other fun thing knocks out a large % of the population maybe they will only need 40% 😬
2nd and 3rd world producers
2. Russia
Potash production: 9 million metric tons
Potash reserves: 920 million metric tons and 3. Belarus
Potash production: 7 million metric tons
Potash reserves: 750 million metric tons
Maybe the orange dickless-traitor thinks its owner will cover the loss.
i miss my chickens. and the hubby has always said "no chickens and no bees". i would have had both for years. but given that avian flu has hit hatcheries, we would be lucky to find any.
Yeah. I know, but my thought process will turn to tactics.
We have a president who wants our food system to break down. The wealthy want to buy that land for pennies on the dollar. They think it's perfectly fine to take everything. They've hit that level. They think they're gods.
RFK's camps. For all the ADHD kids and folks on any SSRI's or stimulants. 3-5 year detox/reprogramming/reparenting farms. Just good clean organic farming for their health in the lovely midwest...
Trump doesn't & will never grasp will bankrupt US farmers 1st but not last. >20% US crops goes to "---foreign markets---vital---($$)success of U.S. farmers---over 95% of the world population---" outside USA & foreign customers buy the crops Americans don't. Trump FUBAR https://www.fb.org/market-intel/agricultural-exports-101
Fun???
Farmers are increasingly under attack by this regime!
How stupid does Trump, his minions and corrupt regime think Americans are? Absolutely insulting.
They’re still gonna let for him …. They’re so afraid of California and New York … I say to them come visit us you’ll actually like what our states have to offer and maybe you won’t be so afraid
✌️☮️✌️☮️
I wonder if he is including all of the orchards and fruits etc rotting away🧐 Maybe he, and his wannabe administration, along with the Republican caucus can take field trips to pick those fields since they don’t do anything else for the people of this country
Precisely. He knew exactly what he was going to do. Remove the immigrants, they pick the fields that we shop for, because he knew nobody, especially palm ✋ shaded people won’t do the work. Trump and his administration are trying to steal our Social Security and leave us destitute.
Ah, yes, greenhouses and 'vertical farming' and all sorts of fun and exciting indoor cultivation that will massive investments of both time and money to setup and which will guzzle energy to keep working, with energy prices already spiking and plateauing under the strain of crypto and AI/LLM.
This is the biggest endgame of the tariffs- US farmland sold at auction prices, and no guardrails on who can buy it. From the start, it’s been about this.
Hey dumbfuck dotard, they don't make food, they grow it or raise it, usually with plenty of help from immigrants that work long hard hours for less, while paying taxes.
We get the long game. After this crop season, when crop yields drop 40%, and/or when costs go up for the American consumer by that amount, the USA will know what they voted for.
Um, but Trump you've fired or deported most of their workers as illegal immigrants.
And those left have gone off to hide themselves and no longer available.
Has he lost track of times. I thought the tariffs were to start four hours ago.
I suspect there is no plan to bailout the farmers, at least the small ones. Vance's acre trader will be used to increase farm sizes, giving them more control.
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that most of their products were shipped out of the US, w/USAID be a massive part of that !
So why would trump assume that we're suddenly gonna start buying more produce ?
Especially in the midst of having our jobs & income stripped away, by our government !
🥴
Yeah! Have fun while you cannot obtain the potash for your crops which I understand most of which comes from your northern neighbour that your Russian operative president just whacked a import tariff on.
Ignoramus
Every time you think he's doing something stupid, he's doing something corrupt that will benefit his cronies... what happens when family farms start folding? Trump & Vance's mates pick them up for pennies...
The US mines less than 10% of the potash it requires. You may have other options, but not all farms will. Using other alternatives may be more expensive and not as effective.
"There's plenty to be had in the us for fertilizer"... yup. You could start with the entire republican party. Plenty of shite to go around. He's playing games with lives and livelihoods and it will not end well for the American people.
While that works on a small scale, it’s not sustainable for our current large scale monoculture system, plus the time needed to compost manure before it can be applied to active crop lands.
Do you mean manure? Pests-water quality-inadequate application and not to mention H5N1 and BIAV (Bovine Influenza A Virus)-bird flu in cattle. These are not adequate solutions. Though I don't wish harm to the farmers who didn't vote for this shitshow (no pun intended) the logistics aren't promising.
Actually they are solutions when from healthy animals.
Are they a good solution for mass produced food? Now we enter a murkier area.
I know my animals. I vet them regularly. Know the signs, maintain them properly to avoid such things. I don't find it unsafe. I also don't mass produce.
Did you read 2025? They want the farmers to fail and privatize agriculture. Will this affect the price of your food? We have other trading partners; we gained a bunch in the last few months. We have different sources for coffee, citrus, fruits, vegetables, dairy and meat.
Will cause food shortages on grocery shelves. Supply will not meet demand. That imbalance will drive up prices. Hiring workers who want 10 times as much to work in farm labor drives up farmer's cost & gets passed on to consumers. Losing subsidies too will force farms to compensate by raising prices
While I am a farmer, I am a homesteader. I don't do market farming. But it is the same thing or similar. I farm my land to support myself... Except during emergency. Then I just give away free food to single mothers who can't work cuz of covid shit downs, cuz it is the decent thing to do.
Farming in the usa, is a range from homesteaders to small family owned farms, all the way to factory farms the last is where most food comes from. Factory farming i find kinda icky especially for livestock. Small farms and family farms depends on the farm. Same with homestead farms.
I do this for 2 reasons. I have to, or I will probably die on the way to hospital in ambulance from super rare allergies to off label food chemicals. Living this way offers me an opportunity to thrive on permaculture methods. A cleaner way of life. Less negative impact to the planet.
And FOX will still find someone else to blame. Their audience will never truthfully be told why their lives have taken a nose dive. They haven't known what's actually been going on in this country for the past 10 years.
1 of 2: hahahahahahahaha what Fuckwad? : farmers don't make products to be sold in the US.. They grow a lot of food that is sold outside the US because they grew it in surplus meaning if they can't export.. they go bankrupt unless you write them BIG checks.. History:
With modern transport... there is no need to trade with the US...The Commonwealth and the EU.. would be the largest and most powerful economic zone ever created...
capitalism is bastardized socialism... instead of the community reaping the rewards.. the people who "own" do.. In the history of humankind... we have had a short interregnum of time where this has been thus... before that there was no such idea
This will be the future. Humanity actually progressing, trading with one another as billionaires go bankrupt and will soon need our help.
This was actually part of a fascinating conversation I had with my Lyft driver a week or so ago. About how we may need to go back as a society to survive.
they don't grow for food... they grow for profit... corn is for alcohol and cattle feed... its a terrible human food.. generally soybeans aren't fully edible... you are supposed to cook and ferment them.. to break down the enzymes.. and increase the food value
The fields would have to be reconditioned first not enough nutrients in the soil, and in my area the aquifer is drying up. Most plants for food consumption require more water than corn and beans.
Not to mention China no longer buying, wheat, canola, corn, soybeans from US but from Brazil and Africa. Also USAID was full of agricultural grains for hungry people in Africa and elsewhere and that is not going anywhere now. flipping idiots have shot selves in both feet, might be head next.
“If Trump’s gaslighting is any indication of history, the green farmers are being bamboozled by a ‘Stalin Cult’ or a Holodormor act of terror! The tariffs, will bring about bankruptcies for farmers and the businesses, that they provide. Let’s call this what this is! ‘A Red Flag!” @maddow.msnbc.com
Not all signage is gone here in upstate SC. But some of the bigger signs are no longer there. And I would rather drive 35 miles to a better meal where the business sold magat gear. And I never do chump fil a either. And beach is only 5 hours away and we have a hybrid.
The one giant 20'x24' flag, came down recently by me. They must have spent $10,000 to put up that flagpole. But all the little Trump's signs are still up.
Trump believes he knows and he’s convinced a not insignificant number of people that he knows, but all evidence points to the contrary and I remain unconvinced.
But, yes, we are all screwed either way.
Not fuckin all of us are brain damaged. Some of us did NOT vote for him. I did not. I never would. Do you know what my mum would do to me if I voted publican?! Me either. I am alive and not dead in agony specifically cuz I don't know. Then there is the
Fact Trump and pubs are just gross... So was an easy choice to vote for Harris. Plus I understand what USAID, does for farmers, what happens when farms lose 70% of their work force and many other things.
Not all of us voted for this. Not all of us are stupid dumbfuck bumpkins.
It's funny, but I think it's been a good thing for Canadians. I've always been a buy local type. I do home canning of soups, fruit, jams, sauces. Small manufacturers are starting to see more business.
Me either! At least most of our vegetables that arent BC grown greenhouse produce, come from Mexico. Though I think USA middle men buy a lot from Mexico and repackage and brand the bagged salads etc. Oranges, apples, etc are US. mainly this time of year.
It could be because I'm on the east coast but a good amount of our citrus was coming from Spain, Morroco and such before the shit hit the fan. Apples are local, and I'm still able to buy stored vegetables that are local. My summer veggie connection is doing greens in greenhouses.
Once in a while we get South African, Spanish citrus. All avocados are Mexican. Most lettuce right now and broccoli cauli etc USA. We do grow a lot in the summer months here and I grow my own as well. All the apple and pear orchards in The Okanagan Valley switched to grapes for BC plonk!
I've moved to NS a little over a year back. I've been impressed with the local markets & farms. Although I made a mistake not moving all my empty jars (much smaller place) I still do a lot of home canning so I still have mixed fruit I canned in late summer / early fall.
Thanks, and yeah. Marlaina "Danielle" Smith, the current premiere of Alberta, would sell us off if Donnie offered to let her give a lick of his hind quarters at this point.
One more reason the UCP need to be GONE. They really are Maple MAGA morons. Utterly without value or merit.
Kill farmers by imposing tariffs on imports.Customers go elsewhere.
Resuscitate them with $25B of taxpayer $$.
1) This is what he did last time
2) China bought their soybeans from Brazil
3) They're probably not coming back
4) This should be banned for giving money out for his fuck ups
That’s what happened to Maine. China’s 90% retaliatory tariffs sent their buyers to Canada. They haven’t come back. Wild Maine blueberry farmers didn’t get bailouts. Some lost their farms.
They have been moving north, from NY to ME, lobstering has fizzled for states south of ME. Good conservation practices have helped us A LOT. The Right whale’s food has moved out of the Gulf of Maine & gone north. We don’t have enough shrimp for a Maine season now so we get them from Greenland.
I noted that. There's no lead time or investment needed, is there, just switch your farm software and the new crops instantly grow on your spare land wherever you are?
Like on Farmville?
he has already announced a plan B...gues what it is? Argentina!!! he plans to bring avocados, bananas and olives directly from!!?? Argentina!!! milei's dead dog approved their free trade with the US with the full blessing of muskomango.
Expect a surcharge from every QSR, Fast Casual & Full Service Restaurant that makes fresh guacamole 🥑 Mexico is the largest source by volume imported into the US.
the big farms will get a bailout, medium farms will get a bonus subsidy, the small farmers will shoot themselves and the land will go to a bigger more corporate farm.
to be clear bailout and subsidy both mean "welfare payments".
Canada will sell all of their potash (fertilizer) to some other country. When you do lift the asinine tariffs in the future, you may still not be able to buy it at any price because Canada prefers to deal with honorable & trustworthy trading partners.
can y'all canadians stop talking as though america is a hegemonious country where everyone in it is totally in line with this, because it's fucking delusional to be doing this
Canada is angry this time. Too much happened since Jan 20.
There is a wholesale adjustment happening in our economy.
Electricity, oil, gas, copper, aluminum, iron ore, sulphur.
There are many things Canada is one of the top suppliers of for the US.
Trump and his goons vastly underestimated us.
In Vermont there's a mountain pass called Smugglers Notch used for smuggling potash to Canada. Its full of caves. Maybe we need to use it again to smuggle potash from Canada.
Typically, the republicans here get along with the dems and vice versa... but the last 8 years has really but a fork in that once singular road..... not to mention pete ricketts is a little bitch piss boy.
but anyways, I'll let you know when we start suffering. I know we lost a lot of fed emps.
I actually stocked up beans, lentils, split peas, and rice in anticipation of the coming shit show. And I got them at small local and ethnic markets for much less
He doesn’t eat real food. He eats McDonalds hamburgers, steak with ketchup and chocolate cake. He has no clue what’s healthy. He probably doesn’t know grapes turn into raisins, the difference between a peach and a nectarine or that pickles are actually cucumbers. He’s an idiot.
Doesn't it suck that 80% of pour farmer's fertilizer comes from Canada....our farmer's will go broke but hopefully the ones who voted for the fat ass orange turd will fold first....payback's a BITCH...it only sucks that those of us who did not buy into his bullshit have to pay for Maga stupidity
This senior won't be looking for work. I don't think anyone would hire an 81 year old who can't go 1 hour without needing to a bathroom break and work more than hour without a hour rest break.
To my married sisters and brothers out there, if you took your partner's name, make sure you own a passport with that name on it. In order to vote, you may be required to show a passport or birth certificate that matches the name on your voter registration. Many married women don't own a passport.
In two months, the headlines will read.
The United States used to export a variety of food, including grains, livestock, tree nuts, fruits, vegetables, and more.
Well, considering it’s probably Ten-to-One or better odds that Donny threatens 20% tariff on Hawaiian coffee “imports”… maybe everyone should be planting everything everywhere.
Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act:
Decline in International Trade:
1. prompted retaliatory tariffs from other countries
2. reduction in trade deepened the economic downturn
3. Worsening of the Great Depression
4. contributed to economic isolationism
5. Increased Economic Hardship
Donny gonna fuck you up.
You'll have to excuse me if I have pretty much no sympathy for farmers considering most supported him. The first go around I had some understanding that people got carried away and fucked up. This time it's FAFO season
No they want to bankrupt family owned farmers to force sales to corporations, foreign investors, and private equity. You end up paying more for food forever.
Trump just said that he will inflict a tariff on produce in April. He thinks American farmers can make it up.
Apparently no one told him how much of our food comes from Mexico. There are fewer family farms and all even corporate farms can’t make up for it.
It isn't bad enough that farmers have to deal with floods, fire, drought, and the commodities exchange. Now they have to deal with a moron for a President, that thinks it's good to cut off their exports. If they had markets within the U.S. for all those extra crops, they wouldn't need exports.
I love this. Farmers got beat up badly during Trump's first term, due to his idiotic trade war. Some committed suicide, many lost their farms. THE DOPES VOTED FOR HIM AGAIN, and now he's telling them that they are going to lose BIG money again. It's their own fault.
I just read an article about a town hall in eastern OR. A farmer stated that he doesn’t mind short term pain for long term gain for Trump. We’ll see how that works out.
South-Eastern Oregon, and Northern California, they've been wanting to form their own state, the State of Jefferson, for decades now. The reddest of the red.

Now that there are no real regulations, at least i hope my country won't allow any unsafe american food products.
When he gets done, there won't be any funding left to bail them out again.
AND, Vance has a website to buy farm land.
Congratulations, your vote for "STUPID" voted for that.
Because I haven't seen it.

Sadly, far more US farmers voted for Trump.
The phrase "reap what you sow" seems especially appropriate here.
His lazy freeloading kids are too.
It's easier to steal money than it is to work for it.

No bail out this time. Government money is being stolen as we speak.
Tom Homan will get 85 billion a year (4) yrs. for fake deportation scam. The word "MASS" is for MASS Theft.
WAKE UP MAGA!
Waiting for big payout for pushing the lie.
People always tell you what they don't want you to know.
He said in beginning of all this BS.
"I've been doing this job for 35 yrs.".
So that's why it's all f'd up??? No. It isn't.
"MASS" theft of government funds.
MAGA, WAKE UP! It's not about who is using the washroom.
HE IS A CON MAN! He is surrounding himself with people who keep agreeing with him because they're getting paid with moneys he'll steal by 3/14.
One thing for sure, any money spent to offset economic pain, will NOT go to 💙states.

This reminds me of the time George Bush went to a grocery store and was blown away with scanners.
Big corporations who finance farm quotas, would rather destroy good food, than give it away.
They destroy enough food to feed the world for free!
Farmers are increasingly under attack by this regime!

Corn, Wheat, and Soybean is what we will have. Oh, potatoes as well.
We can eat rich people for protein!
But that doesn't change the tragic reality that Trump is an idiot.
Other things he is doing are far more Detrimental to farming.
How do I know? 11 years in farming.
The detractions, are really 2 fold.
They can take time as some of them create a hotter fertilizer which can't be used immediately & must first be aged.
Danger & possible risk to public if not done with great care. A thing factory
Bur in theory they could choose to. If they do it right, our farms should be fine our food as safe as it's always been.
Boy do I have bad news for you about what fertiliser is made out of.
Are they a good solution for mass produced food? Now we enter a murkier area.
I know my animals. I vet them regularly. Know the signs, maintain them properly to avoid such things. I don't find it unsafe. I also don't mass produce.
Privatizing already privatized food? Shouldn't affect prices much.
But other concerning things WILL!
Losing 70% of the farm's workforce to deportation...
How long can consumers live with 25% + increases in the cost of living?
This was actually part of a fascinating conversation I had with my Lyft driver a week or so ago. About how we may need to go back as a society to survive.
Farmers marched on Washington and Reagan won the election that year.
Without foreign markets, Canada and Mexico included, US farmers are screwed.
But, knowledge is way over-rated by his cult.
Also - He’ll blame them when they can’t.
But, yes, we are all screwed either way.
SINCERELY:
A Canadian that won't be buying ANY US grown ANYTHING, any time soon. IF EVER AGAIN.
Not fuckin all of us are brain damaged. Some of us did NOT vote for him. I did not. I never would. Do you know what my mum would do to me if I voted publican?! Me either. I am alive and not dead in agony specifically cuz I don't know. Then there is the
Not all of us voted for this. Not all of us are stupid dumbfuck bumpkins.
As also, I lived in Alberta for several years, have loved ones there. The UCP is maga. Tho I guess PP is trying to make Cons that?
But good luck to y'all, and love.
One more reason the UCP need to be GONE. They really are Maple MAGA morons. Utterly without value or merit.
Y'all have to understand it's more complicated than lazy/willfully ignorant americans
propaganda, gerrymandering, & white supremacy. it's systemic & they don't teach us about it to make sure we don't dismantle it
Resuscitate them with $25B of taxpayer $$.
1) This is what he did last time
2) China bought their soybeans from Brazil
3) They're probably not coming back
4) This should be banned for giving money out for his fuck ups
Like on Farmville?

Cobs of corn on the way North. As many as you can.
Double profit.
the big farms will get a bailout, medium farms will get a bonus subsidy, the small farmers will shoot themselves and the land will go to a bigger more corporate farm.
to be clear bailout and subsidy both mean "welfare payments".
There is a wholesale adjustment happening in our economy.
Electricity, oil, gas, copper, aluminum, iron ore, sulphur.
There are many things Canada is one of the top suppliers of for the US.
Trump and his goons vastly underestimated us.
I live smack dab in the middle of this shit show.
So far our eggs are still cheap. "mine are free because I have social skills."
Obviously, this isn't going to last, we just got each others backs up here.
but anyways, I'll let you know when we start suffering. I know we lost a lot of fed emps.
I still think many of these farmers will back these guys..they say they hate who they have been told to hate.
Someone spoke to him 30 min before this posting he did and confused him into sending this out.
He has no idea what any of it means if you ask him
Bananas from Central America.
Hey America get used to eating corn beans and lentils!!!
Farmers on welfare checks! Nnot subsidies or bailouts. Let’s call it what it is!! Welfare!!
What a fucking idiot.
The United States used to export a variety of food, including grains, livestock, tree nuts, fruits, vegetables, and more.
So, f**k Idaho.
Decline in International Trade:
1. prompted retaliatory tariffs from other countries
2. reduction in trade deepened the economic downturn
3. Worsening of the Great Depression
4. contributed to economic isolationism
5. Increased Economic Hardship
Donny gonna fuck you up.
🍊💩 is quite clueless.
NO POTASH FOR NAZIS.

A$$hole. 🤯🤬😈
Apparently no one told him how much of our food comes from Mexico. There are fewer family farms and all even corporate farms can’t make up for it.
