Since 2013? If you're going to be a moron and blame the president I guess Hussein has to get most of the blame huh?
If Trump gets the credit from day one 18 months ago, he gets the blame from day one 18 months ago. These farmers are not doing better since Trump took office, in fact, now we have tariffs and Trump took us out of TPP so they are selling less. Farmers voted for Trump and they deserve what they are getting. Plus, there are too many farmers and we need to end farm subsidies.
Buying proprietary equipment, aka Monsanto seed , to sell into commodity markets.....
a sub 100 level , non credit catch up course in economics might disabuse one of such a plan.
I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle, and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got rid of. Better if they had been born in the open pasture and suckled by a wolf, that they might have seen with clearer eyes what field they were called to labor in. Who made them serfs of the soil? Why should they eat their sixty acres, when man is condemned to eat only his peck of dirt? Why should they begin digging their graves as soon as they are born? They have got to live a man's life, pushing all these things before them, and get on as well as they can. How many a poor immortal soul have I met well-nigh crushed and smothered under its load, creeping down the road of life, pushing before it a barn seventy-five feet by forty, its Augean stables never cleansed, and one hundred acres of land, tillage, mowing, pasture, and woodlot! The portionless, who struggle with no such unnecessary inherited encumbrances, find it labor enough to subdue and cultivate a few cubic feet of flesh.
The unequal economy that's emerged over the past decade, combined with patchy access to health care in rural areas, have had a severe impact on the people growing America's food. Recent data shows just how much. Farmers are dying by suicide at a higher rate than any other occupational group, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The suicide rate in the field of farming, fishing and forestry is 84.5 per 100,000 people -- more than five times that of the population as a whole. That's even as the nation overall has seen an increase in suicide rates over the last 30 years.
Finances are a major reason. Since 2013, farm income has been dropping steadily, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This year, the average farm's income is projected to be 35 percent below its 2013 level. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/america...eting-incomes/
We already have dairy farmers pouring millions of gallons of milk away because Trump took the U.S. out of TPP.
What a great example of TDS.
Dairy farmers have been pouring Millions of gallons away for decades.
This is not a new phenomenon.
In 2016, 43 Million gallons were dumped, and from 1995 to 2014, tax-payers paid $5.6 Billion to dump milk, while simultaneously paying high prices for milk and milk products.

The central planners just need more money to right this ship.

The left cultists are so much in a rush to blame Trumpism that they have a reading comprehension.
Did you even read the article and see when it was also about. In case you missed the highlighted link, here it is. And in 2012 the Dear leader was your own Mesiah - Obama.
In a rush to post, please stop making fool of yourselves.
Suicide Rates by Occupational Group — 17 States, 2012 - CDC
Farming hasn’t been a viable career since 1930. Time to move on.
I've got 1500 acres of prime wheat ground that's been paid for a couple of generations. We do quite well just leasing some of it.
Here's the thing. An assessor came out and told us we had to plow under half of it and they would pay us to do it. We didn't have a choice. The Govt of years past paid us to do nothing.

Don’t hold your breath. I pointed out that the suicide stats were from 2012 and a left cultist retorted that the article was “from yesterday”. The stupidity is that deep. Facts be damned, an article just came out reporting on suicides during glorious leader’s admin but since the “article was just published yesterday” it can be blamed on Trump.

Excuse me - but "the past decade" Wasn't Obama president then? And I didn't hear you complaining.
There are some whose hate is so great that I know just by seeing the poster that it's a trolling thread and no discussion will be happening. Just the same old - blame it on Trump and those who voted for him.
