Hell, more like $20k.

* He rarely eats.

* When he does eat, it's never veggies or fruit.

* He's ALWAYS sick... You name something your kid or friend has - he either has it, or has had it.

* Has 3 dwi's... On his last one he ran into a light pole.. Claimed a cat jumped out in front of him, swerved to miss it. When the cops showed up, he tracked and pointed a cat sitting on a nearby roof - said he did it so the cops would believe him.

To who? Farmers, or you?

Corporate farms are being hurt by the current trade war with China. 

Suppliers in my industry are also being hurt by the trade war, but that's not going to last forever.  

Long term, I'd prefer to see an better balanced trade agreement between the 2 countries.  Trump's policies are working toward that end.

Not disrespectful to me, I meant to farmers.  Generally, when I mention farmers I'm referring to smaller, family farms.  They are the one's struggling the most.  This has been a really tough year for many of them in the Midwest.  The weather was crappy in the spring and fall.  We still have over 20% of the crops in fields yet which is getting pretty late.  Recently there was a major LP gas shortage so they have been unable to dry their crops.  Now there is talk of major shortages in hay and silage for bedding and feed for livestock.  Livestock prices are also very poor right now but apparently the future reports are better.

Crop prices have been crap since then and farmers have been squeaking by since.  My father-in-law got our of farming recently because of how poorly it was going.  Are there many people here other than me that ever bring up farmers?  I haven't seen too many on here that have a close connection with them and discuss it here.

My great grandfather was a share cropper who moved from Arkansas to Oklahoma.  My Aunt and Uncle ran a family cattle farm and dairy farm and lived off the land their whole lives.

My grandfather was a part time pecan farmer who did pretty well with it as a second income source.  I lived and worked on that farm for a couple of years right after high school. I also have a friend who owns a small winery in VA. 

Farming has always been a tough way to make a living.  It's much harder for a small guy to make money by simply sowing, planting and harvesting.  A lot depends on what you're growing and your complimentary businesses.

I work for many farmers and yes, they are very concerned about crop prices.  The soybean issue is hotbutton because of Trump's tariffs with China.  All the farmers I know said "fock China, they have been focking us for years".  And now that China won't pay the US, they are burning 1000's of acres of Amazon rainforest in Brazil for soybean fields.  A horrible nation.  Trump is divesting us from them and that is a great thing.  How liberals can side with them is outrageous.

All farmers squeak by. It's a very hard business with slim margins. That's why farmers are land-rich, but cash poor. Besides, we all know you libs don't care about those people in flyover states.  You've made that abundantly clear.

I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. I’m not a lib and I do care. We need farmers, especially my community.

I do find it funny that in a thread about the job numbers released today and a 50 year low unemployment rate, people have tried to turn the conversation to the budget and farming. L O focking L.

These are all things that a farmer may be faced with in any given year.  

What does that have to do with a jobs report that shows more jobs were added overall than what was forecasted?

If I use the same logic you all seem to have then I should consider you all to be trolls as well.  Obviously, if you don't share my opinion you have to be a troll, right?  You don't agree with me so I'm trolling.  Solid logic.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

If an investment advisor had you sell everything in November 2018 and you missed the bounce and the profits, and when you asked what went wrong and they doubled and tripled down on bearish ideas, you would be absolutely right to fire them.

Liberals want an economic downturn so focking bad. Their financial papers and websites talk about it all the time despite great job numbers, high consumer spending and the increase in wealth pretty much every person is getting. But, but, MUH consumer price index curve regression matrix shows the recession is going to happen in the coming months.

This is such a stupid response. There is nothing to disagree with here, the jobs number is a statistical fact. 

Your problem is, it reflects well for Trump and his impact on the economy. That's not good for folks like you. Sad, because it's great for America.

I haven't been arguing the jobs numbers at all.  I don't pretend that everything is perfect like some make it sound.  I'm sorry that I don't ignore what's not going well because it may not make Trump look as good as you want.
