"End all farm subsidies, abolish the ethanol mandate and allow farmers to trade with whoever and wherever they want" - said no present day politician ever
450 farms have closed so far this year in Wisconsin. So the tariffs have had some effect. Thankfully a lot of the farmers around here in the Driftless Area see through Trumps/Republican lies and vote blue.
American farmer: Trump 'took away all of our markets'
They weren't your markets; and no one "took them away"; you lost them by refusing to adapt to a changing economy.
You mean refusing to adapt to a failed Trump policy. Try to keep up. They HAD the markets before this idiot gave them away in an ill-conceived tariff scheme.

Farmers can pretend they're different than the disability drawing welfare recipient in Kentucky or the single mother in urban Memphis but they're not.
More of that wealth redistribution conservatives are always railing against.
Your link shows that this is a continuation of what was going on before Trump took office.
I don't see any support for this being due to tariffs or what "some" effect might mean.
The government in pouring in billions of dollars in bailouts to keep them in business. We are looking at over $30 billion so far, and who knows how much more unannounced.
