Any farmers out there that can speak to whether they can get info for planting season ? Or loans to help them get through this ?
Are federal offices open to even process loan requests ?

Lately, my state's Department of Ag has been more helpful in directing us towards resources.
they come to their senses.🇨🇦
Farmer's will borrow from them and eventually have to pay rent as workers on their own land.
I DON’T want farms and livelihoods to crash and burn but THEY WERE WARNED BEFORE THEY VOTED over, and over, and over again; it’s time for them to own it.

He can get President Musk to toss in 40 billion and he would even notice it.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid catastrophe is the goal of Trump/Putin and End Times is the hope of Christian Fascists.
Odds are if they dump anything it's the untold tons of grain USAID was set to buy. Or public schools were set to buy. Or any of the other massive food waste going on.
No contest!
LOL
Unfortunately.
There really isn’t a plan to do it but I’d like to see it happen.

Dance against #Trump, #Musk and #Project2025. Help make the protest go viral.🪩🕺✊#50501 #Indivisible #Resist #StopTheCoup
Someone wants to make some money from this protest…
Gotta love the hustle…
And to their figurehead, "Get your tiny hands off."
The Dropkick Murphys are showing up to perform.
I hope there’s a great turnout everywhere!
“If you don’t vote my way, you’re a Nazi” isn’t going to cut it.
The DNC needs to perform their own called "Project 2026". Show a United front with a multi-point convention. The way to stop Trump is to win in 2026,both houses. A united and consistent message on how Democrats will make the average American's life better.

Plus, they are heavily pushed by far right activists. Remember those truckers in Canada? Same crowd.
Heading back to this 👇🏻 but minus the breadlines cause there is no government to support us this time!!!
And if you did, I hope you now see the scumbag doesn’t care about you and your family.
We all need to put aside differences and fight to save what’s left before it’s too late
Extended family is a different story.
Bought the cult bullshit all the way.
Anyone who is assuming you voted Trump because you're a farmer, or making the nastier comments, should really back off.
suggest using
Gatorade™ for crops.

Have a cold one!
Might be a bit more expensive this season
25% more expensive
We didn’t start this trade war🇨🇦👏🗳️👏🇨🇦✅

You really do not want big corporations buying up small farms
Hard to feel bad for a guy who falls off a cliff after you warned him for months about the danger of the cliff’s edge.
They were warned repeatedly and still chose to go near the cliff’s edge.
They won’t believe the truth until they feel pain personally.
But... What I do know of farming and farming industry, farmers are getting fucked. Especially market
I didn't care - wouldn't touch his handouts for anything.
I wish I had more empathy but they got a bailout & voted for him again.
Hope you don’t get hit hard. Good luck this season. 🥬
And, last but not least, I’m so damn sorry about your layoff.
Hope you find a new job soon.
Good luck, friend.
I voted for the qualified lady ..
But the politicians are still throwing stones, and the kids don't have a place to dance and shake their bones anymore.
Son in law , plant layoffs
Son’s business he worked to create
30 years
Will lose all customers
Just not the people in rural farming areas, for some strange reason.
REMOVE, REVERSE, RECLAIM
*control the food supply and you control the population.
And Saudi, Russian and Chinese investors have already been buying up American land and natural resources, posing a very real threat to our security.
I've been starting my garden since November because I knew this was coming. Also get water filters for your house. Apparently this regime thinks we're good to have poo in our faucet water.
Ah the good times are a coming. Wait, I like raw steak and sushi.
They ignored or forgot that the Farm Bill was their MASSIVE taxpayer (read: government) bailout that they keep voting against for everyone else
Our empathy was in our vote against the 🟠🤡 but they shot off their heads in 2024
The Republicans in Congress Must stand up & Stop this. They need to repeal the one day session act, remove speaker Johnson. Trump Trump would Not dare primary them right now‼️
They have to take calls to do business.
IL farmers have been sowing half of their fields. Cannot repair equipment.
Are waiting to outcomes of agreements Pritzker created with Mexico.
Flooding is a concern and Army Corps of Engineers is gone-complete insanity‼️
Darin LaHood IL-16 (Ways and Means SSA and tariffs) has NEVER done a town hall‼️ 2903 days‼️
Largest district in IL‼️
You have to pay to see Darin‼️
HWYs (bridges) rural America that are affected by mass flooding events work with corps.
I'll flip if they get another bail out.
P25 plans to buy them all up and make them private anyhow. We might as well save taxpayer money and get it over with.
OR... the farmers could start screaming NOW to prevent this 🙄🙄
Fuck them, they can pay off those loans by themselves while also killing private practice and padding insurance company pockets, and not pay doctors enough.
Actually, fuck the colleges that train doctors too!
(All careers are equal)
I didn’t ask the guy digging through trash if he was a Republican or Democrat.
I helped him.
It's no different than Musk paying off voters. It's just packaged differently.
NOW is another chance for them to call Republicans with the rest of and demand this stop.
Like addicts, they need to admit they have a problem.
But limited sympathy for them.
As if Musk & GOP who didn't want to cut Americans COVID aid are going to send anyone a dime.
They remember that they got a " stimmy" , as they call it, for covid. They honestly believe that to fix the economy, they have to kill it first..But.. Never fear, The felon is gonna swoop in with a check. Morons🙄
This is probably more to the point….
The wealthy scooping up independent farms at rock bottom prices.
There’s the grift.
And the Democratic party had to fight with the $Trump maga party to make them pay the farmers the money they were promised, and the farmers STILL voted for $Trump!
My Dad (who grew up farming) used to say, farmers are the only people who can really make it on their own.
seems reasonable since the US is the only country that grows more food than it consumes
the farmers certainly don't need equipment or parts or fuel or workers since they produce it all themselves
all the equipment is self-repairing, self-replicating, and uses power generated by the farm?
We felt the tremendous joy and hope of Kamala and Tim’s rallies. The dancing and the love.
It’s still there— AOC and Bernie drew massive crowds.
It’s positive and I’m optimistic!
It’s founded on
the destruction of the existing order, with a view to creating a transactional corporate system of company owned regions exploiting human beings.
I’m just saying that we must have a much higher vision!
Between frozen funds, tariffs, and loss of workers, this year could be a disaster.
FYI: Only 60% farmers voted for trump.
I think I read that 30% did not, leaving 10% not voting.
They CHOSE this outcome.
Let the people enjoy what they voted for... we'll be back to sweep up the ashes (again!) in a few years.

The idea of small farmers being bought out by corporations makes me ill. We need to support our local farmers now more than ever! Our life may depend on it!!
The other source is Belarus but there arent enough bulk carriers in this world to carry it or time to to contract and carry it.
Or like, anything but the money I need to do my job.
Why aren't Americans ousting that convicted felon? There must be at least 100 million of you who want him gone.
Do it.
Violence is what he wants
This man literally said...
"we are going to have to shut down our multigenerational farm, however, if it’s for the good of the country in the long run, as Trump says, then I guess that’s OK.."
IT'S A CULT. A cult sustained on racism.
And they would literally rather be homeless and drop dead before that had their racism proven wrong
they resent Obama bc he challenged the narrative they have for Blk pple. Successful and smart
News flash Project 2025 is about corporate takeover of farms, the family farmers are going to get screwed too.
Stop spending $ with any company that supported this BS.
And it is so simple to see what his con game is. He was rejected decades ago from New York City liberals. He never got over that
So he saw an opportunity and segment of our society that all he had to do was feed their racism and they would accept him. And so that’s where we are now
I mean When Barack Obama makes you have to question everything that you were taught and learned about Black people, because he’s the polar opposite. It shakes your world and you become angry because suddenly your prejudice can’t be validated.

" How fucking stupid do you have to be?"

We have a little barber shop nearby that is festooned with felon propaganda. He has one that says, " Daddy's home"
These people can not be helped
It almost guarantees you’ll get the…how do I word it…you know what I mean- Americans
I’m willing to start over from nothing in exchange for a sane government that treats their citizens with a degree of compassion and protects their rights
Just look where he buried his ex in an unmarked grave
Talk about regret...
Hopefully “wow, you need to seek some deprogramming help!”
I’m sorry.😢
That bank could help in other ways also, as you mentioned!
You have such a good heart, I know you’d help if they asked!
Why don’t you ask them to ask you! And thank you for caring.
They have drank too much of the orange koolaid and God only loves the MAGA folks
I just hate the idea that huge corporations are going to come in and buy up that farm land.
Who knows what kind of genetically modified, insecticide ridden crap we'll be eating?

Smart!
And evil.
The ones who didn't vote for him first time probably didn't this time either.
As a general rule, YMMV, etc.
Farmers they were just doing fine , these are Orange man’s voters, he will subsidize them just like he did last time , they got free money - entitlements anyone
Seems other countries that do not subsidize producers at US rates, could twist the US arm to back off those subsidies for a fairer trade deal.
Manual labor is the cure.
Two idiots don't make one smart person.
They're still championing mass deportation even though it's destroying their own livelihoods.

we will end with 3 classes. the aristocracy (gold toilets and all), the clergy (yes, you can imagine the 'youth pastors' having their way with your children), and serfs (that's us btw).
Plants like the light 1-2" away from their heads.
How long do you have until it's time to plant outside?
(It's a myth that trimming the tops is good for them, btw.)
I'll likely put my bulbing onions out next week and my last frost isn't until mid-May, usually.
Onions like some bone meal in a trench about 4-6" away from the row of onions.
When's your last and first average frost?

When buying seeds, have found ALDI seeds have near 100% germination rate, much higher than big box store seeds, super cheap too.
Why are you so sure?
Are you referring to ALL farmers receiving $, incl the large, corporate farming industry down to the small family farms that distribute to more local communities & hurt the most?
Trump is giving us enough trouble. I sympathize w US farmers but will support only our own now. Protectionism is what he wants, so it's what he gets! 🇨🇦
Again
The number of expensive pickups lined up at each dealership is jaw dropping.
RETAILIATE BY ONLY BUYING WHAT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR SURVIVAL & BUY IT FROM LOCAL BUTCHERS, FARMS & OTHER HOMETOWN BUSINESSES!!!
#US #Farmers will be forced to accept handouts from taxpayers. The etnocentric delusion of American #Exceptionalism will be ruthlessly rebuffed by the new world order.

And it is satisfying to see stupid fucking dipshit racists get EXACTLY what they voted for.
Pass the popcorn.....
Past family Farm owners are going to be employees.
Also - large swaths of nice flat farmland criss-crossed by existing super highways seems like a great place to build their 'freedom cities.'
Maybe now they'll see that it was Republicans all along that were out to steal their farms.

Republicans fucked themselves because their hate was stronger than their patriotism ever was.

Also has been and continues with housing. One more foreclosure boom and they’ll own the rest of us.

Take money from Medicare, the poor, but not from big oil or other subsidies
Cut subsidies not Medicaid or Medicare
But even the timber acres are getting a solid price because they are being bought for hunting grounds or rural development.
Or
You cannot afford to farm crops

Insurance crops,
Planters 3/4 million $

I feel terrible for US farmers. How can one administration approve a program and the next refuse to honor it. I guess that's what happens when a country votes in a felon..

Local farmers are quite different that corporate farmers. Despite what Fox News impression you might have of them.
My advice is about adapting to weather as usual
Apple Trees planted for years need to prune, prepare for irrigation season.
Planting in 2026 for reserved apple trees w/deposit
How’s Mark these days? Are you planting a garden
Stuff like filters, belts, and fasteners don't get attention, but really add up.
Once Putin and POTUS join forces, this might very well be a viable strategy. Lay siege to one country at a time, and starve out the opposition.
