When 70% of farmers cannot afford the inputs to grow food, we are not witnessing a market correction. We are witnessing the quiet collapse of the conditions that make civilized life possible. Diesel prices and fertilizer prices will end generational farming.

It starts there. Trump's association with Big Oil is the reason for groceries being too expensive for us to live. VOTE THEM OUT. Every Republican who doesn't have the guts to regulate big oil needs to go. Any president who doesn't have the guts to regulate big oil and healthcare needs to go.

Well that sucks for them. But someone else will buy those farms and make money off of them. Hopefully folks who aren’t dumb and racist enough to support a pedo grifter.

Because there is stall an ever shrinking chance that farmers and others could pull their heads out of trumps ass and course correct at midterms.

Off road fuel in Ohio is $.70 less than on road. Because they don't pay road tax! I know because when Bush2 was in office I paid $5.00 for off road the last year I grain farmed, and $1500 a ton for 28% wheat top dress fertilizer in 2008! republicans always wreck the farm economy but they vote "Rs's!

And their voting for trump. Had they paid attention and not been pro other people getting persecuted, they and we wouldn’t be in this mess.

Generational farm has been ending since the 80’s. The fed gov has imposed rules on farming and processing that favor industrialization of farming. Fed, state, and local gov have been restricting farming on small scales and opposing regenerative and Permaculture agriculture.

my beans and corn went in the ground at 33% above last years cost. we won't see that on the harvest, we just suck it up. meat producers prices have been the same prices for the last 4 years, yet meat prices are up in supermarkets. we are down to only 4 packing companies. guess who makes the money?

There are solutions for these issues, but the fossil fuel industry has been either shooting them down or buying the rights and shelving the technologies. In the 1970s we had the option to subsidize the solutions instead The Government decided to finance the problem. bsky.app/profile/stop...

There are technologies that become economically feasible when fossil fuel is at $60 a barrel. -SoMax Waste to Energy -NASAs OMEGA Project -Carbon Engineer CO2 to fuel -Oceanic Ammonia to Hydrogen -… There are technologies that can create sustainable fuel now that is close to CO2 neutral.

That’s OK. AcreTrader, in which Vance is an investor, will just swoop in, buy farms up, and further consolidate crop production in the hands of a few rich companies, ensuring that, when the serfs rise up, our food supplies can be diminished in retribution.

The thought of losing generational farming saddens me. I remember my uncle losing his cattle ranch after being betrayed by Reagan's policies. You don't come back from that, and believe me when I say that it is not a 9 - 5 job. It's a life.

The days have landed Gentry were number 250 years ago. Tens of thousands of family businesses go bankrupt every year but if they're not farms nobody seems to care.

The GOP are the Partly of Liars We can distinguish between the voice that is good that guides us and the voice also that can mislead us. We need the truthful voice that helps us grow and make the correct decisions.Let us hear the truth and understand that those are the voices we need to follow.
