Summary
U.S. farmers face mounting financial struggles due to Trump’s tariffs and deep cuts to Agriculture Department programs.
Tariffs have triggered retaliatory measures, raising costs and shrinking export markets for crops like corn, wheat, and soybeans.
Federal aid freezes have left farmers without grants and loans, jeopardizing operations. Some, like blueberry growers in Maine and West Virginia farmers launching a local brand, now risk severe losses.
Farmers warn prolonged trade wars could cause irreversible damage, but Trump insists his policies will create better long-term markets despite short-term pain.
Food is rotting in fields and orchards in the CA central valley right now too, there's no labor to pick it.
The folks who voted for this shit are in for a shock when they see food prices and shortages in a couple of months.
