    Nay.

    The farmers that are going out of business are those that export. Think soybeans to China.

    No impact on American food security.

    But if there is an impact, that’s on the administration for self-sabotaging our food supply, and they can reverse course to correct it.

    They literally voted for their cheap labor workforce to be deported, and for their customers to have tariffs put on them - I mean, how stupid do you have to be??????

    I assume that's their business and livelihood, so they continue to grow soybeans. The question is, did they not know it would happen again, but worse than v1? For someone in that business, you absolutely should know. It's not like another person who can be easily fooled by rhetoric. Their business was impacted before. I guess it might come down to them believing they would be bailed out if it came to that, or believing it would be different this time... foolishly

    Of course they thought that, it won't happen to me syndrome is real, and it is hurting people......now apparently it is hurting those that vote for it.

    How about this, make it a loan, and as long as you owe the government money - ANYONE - you lose your vote until that debt is paid in full?

    i don't need farmers' votes, i need their food. whatever's been done in the past to stabilize and incentivize, hedge the risk and automate the work when you can

    also how and when do you punish people for putting other people in power

    How are they being punished?
    NOT bailing them out . .. is not punishment
    Bailing them out is rewarding them for foolishness

    They argue all the time that people should not get reward for their "bad" decisions
