70% of farmers can't afford to grow all of their crops:

Farm labor is sky high, fuel is sky high, fertilizer is sky high, there are no markets for products thanks to tariffs and the fact that the economy is collapsing and people are restricting to staples...

If they like complaining about welfare folks having $400 dollar phones then I can complain about how much "bankrupt" farmers have in hard assets, like their land, equipment and so forth.

And if you're going to complain about being 4th generation farmers trying to make a living then sorry but getting that farm passed down from generation to generation gave you a hell of a lot of advantages most Americans didn't get.

Especially in these mono-culture (single crop) farms.

Trump is merely fulfilling his promise to Vlad - all so the pee tapes won't be disclosed. (That's a joke?)
