Can someone explain how Trump screwed over farmers? I work with farmers in the northern US, and it was a shorter season for some, but I don’t know how Trump hurt them. Is this strictly because you think tariffs are hurting them, or is it something I missed?
It’s currently affecting soybean farmers the most and it’s a combination of 2 things:
The tariffs have caused China to shift their entire soybean import to Brazil entirely. China purchased 60% of our soybean export and was the biggest customer
The second biggest customer was…USAID…which drumpy also nixed (iirc I think they were another 30% or something)
