Within a year, USA is on track to become a net agricultural importer for the first time (politicians, government)

[uggabugga]

depressing news.

Within the next few months, the United States is projected to import more agricultural products than it exports for the first time in history — a worrisome development for America’s family farmers, who say government meddling threatens their livelihoods and the nation’s food security

“The United States has never had any trouble feeding itself and much of the world, too,” said upstate New York farmer Tim Stanton. “I guess the politicians just figure we’ll keep going no matter what they do to us.

“But, you know, there is a limit.”

Farmers all over New York and New Jersey say they are being pushed to those limits by President Biden’s attack on energy, Gov. Hochul’s labor betrayal, foreign competition and other woes. Here, five of them describe their challenges.

The country is in decline in so many ways in just two years of Biden. Thank you stupid Democrat voters. Can’t believe we have half the country stupid enough to do this to themselves.

farmers cant afford to run their tractors and buy fertilizer,and cant afford to hire workers.
farmers are the most hardworking group of people in the world,Salute our farmers.

I guess the farmers forgot to mention they've been subsidized by the government for decades? Do they expect Biden to pay for tankers to bring them free fuel from Saudi Arabia?

It also doesn't help that the government took even more farmland out of production with the CRP program.

Got to save the planet you know... 50% reduction in green house gas by 2030
