Democrats have entire families of able bodied adults living entirely off the government, even illegals. The farmers deserve the help because they at least get up off their arse and contribute something of value and worth to this world. It's important that we do not abandon these people, as they have done a very good job doing what they do. Just look at the bounty of fat people in America. Damn fine work by the farmers, making food cheap and plentiful for the masses. Democrats couldn't possibly fulfill their promises of subsidized and sometimes free food for low income families without the humble and hard working farmers of America.
No Democrats want to abandon farmers. This thread is about what trump has done to farmers.

You watch too many movies. Farmers are not these rough hewn, independent, no nonsense frontiersman. They are businessmen. Go to YouTube and watch millennial farmer videos, see what real farming is like, not fiction.
So it went up about 100 filings in the entire country and that includes 17 from Puerto Rico.
Not nearly as bad as you want it to be but you tried hard.
They rose by 25%. That is not insignificant.
But polling shows they still support Trump, and believe the pain will be worth it in the long run.
I'm always leery of bail outs such as this.

I can speak to what's around me. The industry is changing dramatically. More tech, less people. Worker (labor) intensive ag is waning, tech heavy ag is growing. Also more organic growers who are small and server local markets within the farm to table world.

Most of farmers are still the old school get dirty types. The giant AG farmers are not that plentiful. Small farmers with less than 1000 acres cannot afford the equipment to compete with the rich guys. Take a drive across Kansas or Nebraska if you doubt that. My farm is 1500 acres and we sure as hell aren't getting rich off of it.

We are seeing similar locally. Things like warehouses in industrial areas becoming hydroponic "farms."
I would guess with pineapple and sugar cane gone, almost all of our produce is used locally.

People are buying almond milk and soda instead of drinking milk.. It is hurting dairy farmers .
It will have an effect, but so much of the milk production goes to cheeses, yogurts and the million other dairy products that we consume. Drinking milk is a much smaller component.
