Nonsense, they would exist and I’d argue they would be doing better. I do think the government needs to get the hell out of our farm industry. I think they do more harm than good.

The tariffs are definitely screwing the farming industry. Glad you can see it.

US soybean sales to China down 94 percent amid Trump tariffs: report

U.S. soybean exports to China are down by 94 percent this year amid President Trump’s trade war with Beijing.The New York Times reported Monday that the latest federal dat…

Okay, I’m thinking there are a lot of mad farmers at the moment. When they read that the First Lady spent $94,000 at a hotel where she didn’t spend the night and then the market for their product is being CRUSHED by her husband (while he lives the life of luxury), they have to be pissed they voted for him. There is no way that Hillary would have hurt them like this. And now they know it and will feel the pain.

Free-market capitalism, baby. If the farmer is suffering, oh well. Their fault they can’t do something else. If they go bankrupt, just the way the ball bounces. They can sell their land for housing and get another job.

Sure as ■■■■ don’t wanna keep giving farmers welfare, do we? I mean, we’re trying to get the leaches off of the government teat.

Yeah, but our tax dollars got to pay for her new white hat she wore.

Nahhhhhhh…with the increasing number of lib soyboys…so will demand.

Aside from going on full on alt right as demonstrated with the “soy boy” imagined insult, it’s kind of funny that because soy milk has isoflavones which could theoretically be converted to estrogen, there is no proof that that actually happens.

If you drink milk from a cow though, that for sure has estrogen produced by a mammal and would be far more feminizing. Judging be the high preponderance of moobs at a Trump rally, those are the type of people that should be chugging the soy.

Let China grow its own soybeans then. Funny that they haven’t been doing this all along…

We can adjust to corn or wheat.

Takes some time for the market to adjust and adjust it will.

It is splendid when the ignorant out themselves as getting their information from alt-right memes.

It’s kind of funny that you’re touting the invisible hand of the free market to solve the problems caused by…Republican tariffs.

It’s about time we start producing soybeans in this country again. ■■■■■■■ Obama and his job killing regulations took soybean production to its lowest level in centuries. Trump is restoring freedom for all. Bless him.

It is crazy to ship agricultural products half way around the world because we are selling them too cheap.

NuffSaid · 2018-11-06T17:52:03.838Z

So, your proposed solution to a problem that Trump created by increasing tariffs on a country who in turn has stopped buying our product is to switch to another foodstuff to grow.

Who is going to purchase the necessary equipment for these farmers to switch over?
Who is going to pay for the soil testing to ensure these crops will grow?
Who is going to build/renovate the proper storage facilities for these new crops?

Sounds like a lot of money needed to fix a problem the President created.

Ha, you typed almost word for word what I thought when I read his post two minutes ago.

I considered replying but figured, What’s the point?

It’s going to take a lot of socialism for the free market to respond to Republican attacks on the free market.

Yes, I wonder which socialist solution that Trump is going to choose first.

he’ll just give the farmers more bailout money (also known as taxpayer money).

I don’t think he’s allowed to do that for two reasons.

One, that’s socialism!!!##@!!!

Two, that’s redistribution of wealth!!
