[quote=Anonymous]The shutdown is now wreaking havoc on farmers, already hurt by Trump's trade wars. https://www.jsonline.com/story/money/2019/01/04/government-shutdown-makes-already-rough-farm-markets-even-rougher/2475446002/ The federal government shutdown could wreak havoc on U.S. agriculture, and the rural economy, as farmers wait on subsidy payments, loans and data they need now to make plans for the spring. The timing could hardly be worse, according to some farmers, as they've already been hit with fallen commodity prices and the loss of foreign markets in President Donald Trump's trade wars. Now as a result of the shutdown, farmers say, applications are on hold for a $12 billion emergency aid package Trump and the Department of Agriculture announced for farmers hurt by retaliatory tariffs from China and other nations. The deadline to apply for that program was supposed to be Jan. 15 but may have to be extended. [/quote]
