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.

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. Grapes---->wine------->wine tastings------->wedding venue. Grass fed beef-------->on farm restaurant--------->supplies local markets.

I haven't seen too many on here that have a close connection with them and discuss it here. 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Liberals want an economic downturn so focking bad.

But, but, MUH consumer price index curve regression matrix shows the recession is going to happen in the coming months. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
