Farmers already face enough uncertainty—from unpredictable weather to rising costs. The last thing they need is more instability from harmful tariffs and disruptions to vital services that will make it harder for them to succeed.

You keep telling us about the terrible things happening but never offer any ideas of what the Democrats are going to do. Get a plan, get united and knock these bastards down.
When he says to farmers: 'have fun!' it shows he doesn't know how trade works. He thinks less competition = more money, but limiting farmers to domestic markets lower prices. Crops like sorghum and soybean are grown for China. Global trade isn't charity - farmers do it because it makes more money.
Farmers largely voted for Trump after the last disaster under him so I really don’t care that much about the farmers.
Rising prices aren’t going to stop under Trump.
Farmers have no one to blame but themselves.
90% of farmers voted for Trump.
Democrats should work to protect those who did not vote for Trump, not those who did.
Farmers are not Trump's victims, they are his accomplices.
Just How Long Did It Take An Idiot Adviser, To Convince #SEXOFFENDER #CONVICT #Trump,
To Use The Lame-Ass "Stop the Fentanyl", Excuse, To Levy These Dumb Tariffs-That Will ONCE AGAIN Only Harm Americans?!
"Off Our Butts-And Back Into The Voting Booths", America!
Keep fighting.

In many cases, they were told yet voted for this. No sympathy here for any who did so. They wanted it, and they got it. Tell Mitch for us that we hope he suffers excrutiating, painful guilt for the rest of his miserable life for not doing his job. This is directly on him.
It’s the last thing any of us need, but problem is most of the American farmers voted for this demented conman. Couldn’t see why they supported him then and can only hope they see what they’ve done. If not, when their farms go up for sale @.10/acre maybe they’ll see the light.
Orange blob has no idea what farmers go through. As far as he is concerned The Real McCoys is what farm life is like. This idiot thinks that you toss seeds on the ground and sit on your ass till it's ready to harvest.
Especially in rural MN areas already failing from R-policies killing our towns and incomes. Most families rely heavily on Medicaid, Medicare and food stamps out here.
How about you post the bold truth; the last thing needed is Trump's tariffs, Elon's chainsaw, Brooke Morris pushing Trump's agenda & Congess not calling it out. Damn,call them out by name,make them own it & quit trying to make things status quo. Americans don't want to be shown the party of decorum.
You social media person really isn't listening. The tone of this kind of post only makes people angry with Klobuchar. It is only making an observation that is not news. It sounds out of touch.
You always hear people talk about " if it sounds to good to be true, it's probably not" in some form. Yet here we have a people who voted for it. They face unfortunate consequences. I hope we can turn this around for better
but i’m sure they will receive more ‘farmers welfare’ to support them..
socialism endorsed by the GQP..
about the only socialism they will give support for
We already know this. When is someone going to do something about! I’ve given up all hope in the Democrats. We suck at accountability and fighting for what is right and fair.
These posts are useless if they aren’t tied to action. Why not make them a speech and invite local activists and leaders from the state. Have them speak and make an event out of it. Maybe at the capitol building? You could invite MN republicans, and let them see this isn’t helping Minnesotans?
Why did you vote yes to Trump’s nominee for Secretary of the department of agriculture? Brooke Rollins has already shown she is just another lackey who doesn’t care about farmers.
Truth! Would like to see REAL industry/farm alliances! New non-GMO money crops & a completely fresh Ag reset. Hemp needs industry AND farms in close proximity. Cut out ALL the seed ripoff schemes! Farmers KEEP their seeds. Lots of other $$ crops that use less H2O, fertilizer, & roundup!
I’ve moved on from “up first” Amy. I’ll take my attention to the people who are speaking truth to power, who are inspiring, who are calling lies and the bullshit, who are demonstrating leadership! I will remember this office dwelling, backstage reporter as we head to the polls. Do something Amy!
I had the opposite reaction from most of these replies. I read Amy's post and thought "you got that right!" I feel for the farmers, especially those who voted for Trump thinking he would help them. Clearly he doesn't care about them at all.
But that's the point. We all do. It is very clearly an issue. But simply pointing it out when you are in a position to do something, but aren't, is tone deaf.
She could say here's the issue, here's what I am doing.
I have to say that it is not clear how to stop him. The courts? Protests? What we need is for Republicans in congress to stop following him blindly but don't hold your breath
I do not trust this regime. One thing many Minnesotans can do is grow gardens if they can and have space. I think they are purposely trying to crash the economy and the dollar so they can implement all of their own systems to enrich themselves. I think that the dictator is a Russian tool for Putin.
There was a video from 1984 of a kgb that defected. Right now they are in phase 2 of the operation which is destabilization. Phase 3 will be a crisis of some sort. He explained that this operation will be done by Americans to other Americans. This goes beyond a Constitutional crisis.
What about those of us who aren't farmers and our electricity bills going up 25% as a result of tRump's ridiculous tariffs on Canada? Seniors are already fighting to stay in our homes.
These obvious pronouncements are not helpful.
They prove you can see the problem.
What would be helpful would be telling us WHAT you are doing and HOW we can help.
THAT IS LEADERSHIP.
Where is your grit?

Obviously, you can't fix 'stupid'.
