Here’s the thing about farmers: they are businessmen, they own (inherited) assets, many of them are quite well off, they are not idiots.
I’m convinced many farmers are simply just pricks.
Some farmers who own a lot of inherited land - not all of them - are becoming multi-millionaires now as they sell off or develop all that land. The ones I know of are solidly Republican.
Uh, I think those billionaires are going to start lowballing farmers. That’s why they want them to go bankrupt.

And the tariff damage is worse. Our debt is worse. And he’s scaring bond markets. And he wants to deport all the migrants they hire. Farmer are going be deep in the “find out” phase.

Yep. All the farmland right here in the DMV is gone. I had not been down R301 in Maryland in years. There used to be lots of farms and one farm where I took DC for Halloween haystacks and rides. It’s all gone and now shopping centers, town houses, and SFH.

They’re not gonna get bailed out this time. Trump 1.0 needed their votes for 2.0. Now that Trump is untouchable he doesn’t need anyone and Stephan Miller really doesn’t GAF.
Womp, womp.
