Corn prices rebounded in recent weeks. On 4 October, corn traded at USD 385 cents per bushel, which was up 7.3% from the same day in August. Moreover, the price was 2.6% higher on a year-to-date basis and was up 4.7% from the same day last year.
As of July he had a 79% job approval from farmers.
I believe this; “It shows the administration doesn’t understand the fight family farmers are up against,” she said.
In my area of the country, I drive by many, many, many acres of farmland that was once cultivated by the family. Today, the kids are gone and the land is being replanted in pines. This situation of the family farm has been happening for decades and has not been addressed. One of the problems is the necessary equipment needed for daily operations. You need an expensive piece of equipment that will be used only a few days out of the year. To depreciate that expense for a small farmer, places them in the red. They can’t share the equipment because they all need it at approximately the same time. This man’s words are idiotic, unsympathetic and not helping but…this problem is decades old.
And? Pretty sure I specified the date of the poll. If you have a newer proving he is losing farmers by all means, post it. Here is one showing they support his trade war and believe it will benefit them in the end.
The Purdue Center for Commercial Agriculture’s latest producer survey, which was conducted last month and released Tuesday, showed a record-high 78% of farmers said they believe the trade war will ultimately benefit U.S. agriculture.
The new package also includes $1.4 billion in purchases of pork, dairy, fruit and vegetables that will be sent to schools, food banks and other food aid programs.
What is hilarious is the really vapid line of argument that you are employing.
Arguing that prices are rebounding is countered with the reality that the Government is dumping billions into the market to keep the prices from collapsing and then the come back is “Well libs like spending money”
