Iowa loses more than 6% of its GDP, family farms struggle to survive as DJT gives
Billions in foreign aid to soybean competitor Venezuela, lands beef deal and in turn offer’s meager subsidies to Iowans.
So tear apart the White House and build a ballroom.
Sounds good.

You and Chris pretending to care about cow country is cute.

You defending the untenable not caring about “cow country” is unforgivable.

I don't think we should be subsidizing farmers any more than subsidizing other industries.
And most small family farmers would agree with that.
And that’s the point - Iowan farmers 1. want to keep their family farms 2. would rather not receive
subsidies 3. they know most subsidies are skewed to pay off large corporate farming enterprises, thereby not being able to keep their farms having to sell off their properties to those subsidized corporations.
This not to mention trump giving billions to his dictator pal in Venezuela something you forgot to include in your post and you forgot the horrible economic policies of trump injuring those Iowan farmers and you didn’t care that the cattle farmers are being pushed aside by the beef deal.
You seem to support DJT’s systematic breakdown of the US economy plunging US citizens into poverty.
Well done!
You are pretending to be simultaneously upset by low soybean prices and high beef prices.
Low soybean prices are good for people buying soybeans and bad for people selling them. High beef prices are the inverse of that.
The subsidies actively destroy small family farms, you are sort of correct about that.
It should not be the aim of foreign and trade policy to benefit any particular industry, but to benefit the US as a whole.
You are arguing for for crony-capitalism and are pretending to be upset that the president isn't making policies and decisions to directly benefit the people that voted for him.
I’m not arguing any of that - simply electing a self indulgent criminal as POTUS and these are the
fates of the nation; something you support.
Forest for the trees is your problem in the least.
You literally just argued all of that.
If Trump did the opposite on both soybeans and beef, you would also complain.
Trump is president because of people like you, not because of people like me.
I most definitely am not arguing for crony-capitalism if anything it’s an
argument against it.
And no, it’s you people, the stupid gullible people who elected trump. Take responsibility for your actions.
You want Trump to subsidize soybean farmers and keep beef prices high.
Or is it you want Trump to make nice with China but not Argentina?
Farmers voted 90% for Trump
They are getting what they deserve.
Farmers don't export grain to China, corporations do.
How did you become a special pleader for the agriculture industry?
Um last o looked farmers grew the soybeans.

How many hands do you think the soybeans go through before they get to China?

Like I said - you can’t see the forest for the trees.

Most farmers have only one path to market, their local grain elevator coop
From.there it is shipped, used to be by rail, but now by truck to the closest navigable river (Missouri or Mississippi). From [There] it is floated on barges down the river, where some of it goes to China.
This is what the forest looks like.
Yes, subsidizing Venezuela's soybean farming for sales to China, tariffs for Iowans.
Making America first in enriching DJT. The grift continues - let’s build a ballroom - destroy the Whitehouse.
USA = United Suckers of America.
Embrace the grift.
