Sort of for the "economics" forum really; but I'm not to judge. Yes, one can find a number of stories of farmers being hurt in all of these economic measures being taken.

Trump can bank on liberals in the State of Washington highlighting the affects on our fruit industry.  Apples, cherries..........etc.

The cancellation of airline contracts after the Iran deal pullout and aluminum tariffs can't be helping Boeing, either.

Naturally, but they're one of the more prominent industries in WA everyone would recognize.

I have no idea why you would think that, but I'm flattered by your personal interest.  Nothing to say about the topic of the thread? :pondering:

Little giggle!  Yep, what we are nationally know for, Boeing.  Huge employer for sure.  My husband and I also are employed in businesses affected by tariffs.

It is, and those small family owned farms get welfare also. I’ve personally witnessed it with family dairy farmers. They also get the price fixing bennies that the corporate farms get. Joel Salatin has revolutionized farming to be both profitable and without Big Gov propping it up. Spin farmers are making well over 100K/year profit on as little as two acres THAT THEY DON’T EVEN OWN. YouTube Joel Salatin as well as SPIN farming and permaculture. It’s pretty eye opening.

My sister isn't a dairy farmer and no she doesn't get assistance. Only pain.

Who the hell do they think they are?  If those losers don't like government subverting the business they built all their lives and destroying the safety and stability of their employees lives then they can move to another country.  That's what we do in America.

If it's not economical to harvest, it'll stay in the fields and make some huge deer in the Midwest this hunting season.

American farmers are welfare queens. Joel Salatin has proven the traditional farmer wrong many times over. They’re doing it wrong and instead of changing and adapting, their lobbies pay off Congress for subsidies, tax breaks, price inflation, etc. Rant off.

Truth.  And soy sucks anyway.

Maybe not in its purest form, but it's in everything because of the high protein content and relatively flavorless properties of the oil.

It can be done, you just have to be careful of what you buy.  Mostly if you buy "real" food, you can avoid it.

Nope. I read labels and I know what other names soy, MSG, etc. can legally be named on a nutritional label.

Not like Congressional Republicans are powerless to stop it, I'm sure they could find more than a few Democrats who'd be willing to put Trump in his place on this topic.

No, seriously, I know what you mean.  I get specific instructions if I'm sent to the store.  Otherwise, I'll just grab whatever is on sale in that category.

Did a lot of that growing up, when we had more land.  My mom spent a lot of time canning the stuff we grew.  Usually lasted through winter.

I thought conservatives were against Depression era policies?

Conservatives are.

We're also against government picking winners and losers, and against subsidizing the uncompetitive.  We are also against confiscation of funds from taxpayers to cover for the mistakes of government officials.

Too bad there aren't more conservatives.
