“I can see how some #tariffs might help us compete with #Mexico but are we really getting targeted by every other country or are we on the wrong side of this? We’ve already had two years of absolute disaster with falling prices & weather patterns … no farmer wants this but without a #bailout this could be devastating & a lot more people could go under,” Johnson said.

The #ClimateCrisis fueled #ExtremeWeather is compounded by #Trump’s #TradeWar & the admin targeting federal programs & staff, leaving #farmers reeling & resigned to needing another #bailout.

“There’s a lot of uncertainty around & I hate to be used as a bargaining chip. I am definitely worried,” said Travis Johnson, who lost >1k acres of cotton, sorghum & corn after a year’s rain fell in 48 hrs in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) in TX last month, turning parched fields into lakes.

After #China unveiled steep retaliatory #tariffs on American exports on Wed, #Treasury Secy #ScottBessent issued a sharp & surprising response: “So what?”

The loss of China as an export market will deal a particularly hard blow to #agriculture in red states, hitting the voters who helped #Trump win. On Wed, Trump ratcheted US tariffs on China even higher. #Farmers are concerned that a protracted #TradeWar w/China will cut off ties w/their largest export market.

“Trump did not care about the financial pain and anxiety he inflicted on small-business owners, #farmers, factory workers, or old-age pensioners. It was only after billionaire tech moguls, private equity vultures, and GOP mega-donors began squealing that Trump blinked.”
