Don't any of these people have bootstraps?!
Farmers will sell their land to someone with more money.
More consolidation is what this country needs. /s
Oh NO! ALL they wanted was to be able to Kill Black Kids on their Driveway! They DIDNT know it would Effect their WALLETS too!
Oh no! If only there had been some way for farmers to know this was going to happen! Like Trump telling them it was going to happen! Or every economist in the country warning it was going to happen! Or Trump doing the same thing in his first term! WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN???
It still amazes me that they are surprised. They lived through it the first time. It wasn't fake news It was their own reality.

It's not a dire situation for the people who want his land.
Yeah exactly. Big agribusiness will scoop these family farms up at very cheap prices. Follow the money.
WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPENING. AGAIN. AFTER HE CAMPAIGNED ON LITERALLY THE SAME THING THAT CAUSED THIS THE FIRST TIME.
Cause and Effect?? MY ONLY WEAKNESS!!!
They can always blame Biden (Joe or Hunter), Obama, or trans people! 🤡🤡🤡🤡
True maybe the sales orders are in Hunter's laptop. That's why they wanted it so bad.

Oh no.
The consequences of your own voting.
Just like Canada is, China is specifically targeting people who voted red and I have zero sympathy. In fact, I applaud them in this instance.
Every one of these people had more than 8 years to see what Trump was like before voting.
It’ll probably be hard for them to buy some tarifer potash and fertilizer next year after their reduced sales this harvest, but it’s what they wanted.

The biggest purchaser of soy and corn was the US govt, which purchased it for foreign aid.
Well the farmers voted GOP because they opposed all that foreign aid, so Trump removed it.

This isn't even a "I never thought leopards would eat MY face" this is more "I specifically asked for my face to be eaten by leopards".
What's that you say? Soybeans are a complimentary crop for corn, and those same soybean farmers will now have to carry this utter loss into corn planting season? I wonder how many farmers fail this season and don't plant next season.

Hoping these mf divas get exactly and specifically what what they voted for.
Seems like a good time to be a tofu producer.
Just like every other time a GOP president fucked american farmers there will be a "save the farmers" bill passed that will allow agri businesses to profit and some of the smaller farms will be bought out by large companies and the fuckwit voters will cheer for Trump saving farmers from the evil foreigners.

Turns out fascism is bad for international trade. If only anyone could've seen that coming. 🙄
That’s ok, you don’t have anyone to harvest them anyway.

In other words, he's republican and expects special treatment than other Americans. Traitors.
Perfectly good taxpayer subsidized food rotting in the ground, I sure feel great again. /s
Growing up in an ag state I was shoved propaganda left and right about how great rural states were, that cities depended on us, we were the breadbasket.
Our crops? Cattle corn and soybeans.
Cattle corn, aka feed for cattle, inedible for humans, and subsidized out the ass by the gov. So much is overproduced that they literally had to find other usages for it, which is where ethanol comes from. Subsidized corn making cheap fuel to have cars run on subsidized roads.
Soybeans, also subsidizes, and what is used is mostly exported to other countries like China.
We provided very little food to our own citizens. You listen to these rural farmers though and they'll tell you up and down how gov payouts and leeches are a drain on society, hooboy do they hate them. Until it's time to get their own check.

Get fucked, Magats. Have the day you voted for.
Well, as a tofu muchin soy snackin vegan freak, I'm tempidly optimistic. Guess that fascist orange fuck is gonna lower my grocery prices after all.
And to think, all it only took was crashing the national economy, needlessly wasting soft cultural power and enacting worldwide boycotss of domestic goods to FINALLY make America great!
🙄
What makes you think your tofu is going to drop in price ? The supermarkets would rather let it rot, than allow you to buy it for less money.
To put that another way, you have already made it clear what price you're willing to pay. The supermarkets now have an opportunity to source the product more cheaply from farmers who are overstocked. That means more profit for the supermarket, not lower prices for you
