John Hansen, president of the Nebraska Farmers Union said its “time for a change” during a press conference on Capitol Hill this morning, Sept. 16. He criticized the Republican-led Congress for delays in passing an updated farm bill as farmers face rising input costs (diesel, fertilizer, labor), low commodity prices, high interest rates and pressure from tariffs. Hansen repeated that the farm economy is facing its worst financial crisis since the 1980s. “When trade wars break out, farmer noses always bleed first and worst and longest,” he said.https://couriernebraska.com/news/video/nebraska-farmers-union-president-says-farmers-facing-worst-financial-crisis-since-1980s/
>>545019938Trump does not give a SHIT about farmers.
>>545019938It's true though. I live in the most conservative part of a really red state but I've never seen so many "I regret voting for Trump" signs in lawns. Everywhere I look, not one Trump supporter who doesn't regret it. It's crazy because everybody here voted Trump 3 times in a row, but it's obvious that this time, it was a mistake. We call him "Trump the Mistake" in my house.I was at a bar in town on Saturday night. It's the kind of place where working class guys, truckers, and farmers go to unwind after an honest day's work, a real salt-of-the-Earth type of place. We were watching a local high school football game on the TV and one of the players happened to be named Harris, which prompted people in the bar to start talking about Kamala Harris. My dad (a coal-miner) says "y'know, I've voted red since the Reagan administration but I really should have given her a chance. I'm a fool for being so racist and sexist that I couldn't vote for a Brown woman, she was clearly the best choice." Then the local gun store owner, who is also the head of the local KKK chapter, said “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we need to impeach Trump and Vance and replace them with Kamala.” I look around and my face is stunned. All of these hardcore Trump supporters are shaking their heads in agreement. I heard a couple “yes, sir” and “damn straight”. Everyone started nodding and agreeing, and we were talking about how she's not a billionaire so she understands the plight of the middle class. We all call her Middle Class Kamala around these parts.She was the best candidate for the job, and the only reason she lost is because we were too racist and sexist to realize it. She was basically President for the last 4 years and our economy was booming. We call her Queen Kamala and praise her Kamalaconomy. Anyways just thought I'd throw in my two cents on the matter.
>>545019938>wah, wah, we can't profit without government handouts fuck farmers.
>>545019938Unions are by definition communists. They never back Republicans unless bribed.
“Compared to last year, our fuel bill is $50,000 higher,” Vance Ehmke, a Kansas farmer, told the Hastings (Nebraska) Tribune, while “fertilizer, that’s going to be at least another $20,000 or $40,000 increase. That’s all due to Trump and his war in Iran. We are madder than hell about it.“I want to tell you that I am a Republican, and I’m pissed.”>>545020220Read the op filename, and stop being so predictable. Lmao.
>>545019938They literally voted for it.
Turns out the American people had needs they expect their leader to attend to, and Israel is not the American people despite how much coddling they get.Time for the next set of AIPAC funded puppets.
if trade wars hurt american farmers, maybe they shouldn't have voted for the guy whose entire economic platform was "i am going to start trade wars with the entire world"play stupid games, win stupid prizes
>>545019938LOLDoes he think Democrats will help farmers?Do you?
All crops underwater. >Last month, the American Farm Bureau Federation ran a bad-news article saying “the record-high input cost environment”, meaning high diesel and fertilizer prices, means that “no major row crop”, such as basedbeans or corn, “is projected to clear break-even” this year”.
>>545020603At this point, just ending tariffs and the war would be a huge help. Neither of which Trump is willing or able to do. So, yes. Defeating him will help farmers.
>>545019938>Be american farmer>Team red, lead by a former team blue, fucks up your day>Hurr, I better vote for team blue now!They really don't know who runs the show still
>>545019938Farmers are retarded enough to keep voting republican because of "Muh christcuck values"They were getting the biggest handouts and bailouts from Biden and complained. Now that they had their spics removed and couldn't hire any American for less than 10 an hour in the hot late spring and summer daytime working 12+ hours a day, no benefits, no medical, no 401k. Alot of them went belly up in various places. Then they bitch and whine in the now and guess what? They have a maga orange pedo as president and a 3 for 3 control and they STILL will not get help. So farmers, you get what you deserve. Stupid-ass imbred redneck hick retards!.I am that guy that passes your farm gates when traveling, laughing and mocking you, "HOW'S TRUMP NEGLECTING YOU?! AHAHAHAHA! GET FUCKED STUPID-ASS HILLBILLIES!!"
>>545020220Go swallow Jew cum, Shitjeet.
>>545019938>low commodity pricesJust post quoting myself to point this out. Farm product commodities prices are low, but retail food prices are higher than ever.
>>545019938>union rat has an opinionGood I hope it gets worse, all union workers are parasites and should be killed
>>545020187>brought to you by badly disguised reddit shillYou lost tranny
>>545019938It is a small price to pay so Iran doesn't own a nuclear weapon. Please die for israel and thank you.
Just bought land to start farming, it's a rich man's job now. >Want to mow the your grass? That'll be 100k + tip>Want to bale your hay? That'll be another 80k for the equipment solely for that>Want somewhere to store it? That'll be another 50k for a small barn>Want wildlife to not wreck your crops? That'll be another 30k for fencing>Haven't even bought a single seed or any fertilizerIf you don't have half a mil to drop on equipment there's no point. Just to not have your shit overrun puts you deep in the red because all equipment is retardedly expensive.
>>545021569A meme flag is an admission of guilt
>>545021859some retarded faggot dairy farmer near my hometown is trying to auction off a 100 acre farm with a $750k starting bid. i looked up the address. public records show that it's under chapter 12 bankruptcy. absolutely no idea how you're supposed to break even.https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/6215-Sheshequin-Rd_Ulster_PA_18850_M95443-90151
>>545019938got what they voted for award

>>545019938>facing its worst financial crisis since the 1980sYeah and they didn't do shit about that either (No Hanging bankers) except go back to "Voting" like they always did. Most farmers are the biggest cucks you'll meet.>MUH FREEDOM>MUH RIGHTs>MUH MUH MUH
>>545021859It doesn't help that the kikes that have sunk their fangs into farming-related businesses have been whittling away at the people's rights to fix their own property too
