    I like how people don’t want the farmers to prosper. These aren’t big banks that make up money and loopholes. They are the people making sure EVERYONE else doesnt die of starvation.

      How many of those farmers voted for trump? You reap what you sow, farms should know that. But many farmers have learned you reap a huge welfare check when you sow hatred so they keep doing it.

      Wait for mega farms owned by vc and banks to be the ones to get the most as always.

      The majority of the farms around me are cash crops, not providing food for survival. I’m in central California and all I see here is almonds, pistachios, tomatoes and cows. We need to get rid of these since it’s just wasted space that’s doomed to fail as it’s using up valuable resources to profit the few that own them.

      We have one acre and we grow a variety of different veggies, trying to grow with sustainable methods like regenerative farming practices. We trade with other like minded people and my wife donates excess to the local church to help feed the poor. We need more people doing this and less of the big corporate farmers lining their pockets while everyone else suffers.

      Screw these bailouts
