Because we love guacamole.

We can grow avocados and tomatoes as good as anybody on the planet. Why flippant?

Know what other types of farmers I know?

Young people who have bought failed dairy farms and are now growing and selling vegetables, apples, grapes, honey, sorghum, microgreens, different fruits, mushrooms, hops, nursery/greenhouse plants etc.

We produce too much milk. One reason milk prices stay so low. I know that’s why dairy farmers are desperate for more markets (one of which TPP would have provided) but maybe it’s time to utilize the land differently.

Hilarious. Pray tell why are the farmers suffering?

westaussie · 2019-11-02T12:48:18.508Z

Which poster or posters said the farmers were paying the tariffs? Did you make that up?

Blame California.

Thanks for the outstanding contribution. We will take it under advisement and file accordingly until the next committee meeting.

The irony of this…

Those documents are unfortunately classified NOFORN. We will be happy to provide them upon proof of citizenship of the requester.

Have a nice day.

Why is it ironic?

Further evidence that Trump acolytes just don’t care what Trump does no matter how deplorable or reprehensible.

We can’t all be sovereign citizens.

I guess the fact that the Midwest suffered flooding during the planting season had nothing to do with this? If you can only get half the land you normally farm planted, how is that Trump’s fault? There were over a million acres just in Illinois alone that couldn’t be planted.

LucyLou · 2019-11-03T00:27:08.438Z

I blame Trump.

calirepub · 2019-11-03T00:31:50.131Z

You would.
