Jacob Thomas and his wife Jennifer, who are farmers in Kansas, took a 10 percent hit when the Trump administration abruptly cut a $1 billion program that supplied local produce and meat to schools and food banks.

"Many in the area voted for Trump, but the good feelings are starting to fade, giving way "to a growing sense of helplessness, frustration, and anger"

LOL

Helplessness, frustration, and anger.

Those are the reasons they voted for Trump in the first place.

Hadn't thought about it, but some of those big Farmers for Trump signs in my area have come down.

And along county roads nationwide, "Trump 2024" signs at the edge of farm fields are being taken down...

If suffering and ruin won't drive them away from Trump then I suppose it's always been their ambition to suffer and be ruined.

So, life ambitions achieved they can all eat that well earned ---- and die.

For 10 years we have been traveling full-time on the back roads in every state west of the Mississippi. It is (or was) rock-solid trump country. The ignorance is as large as the farms and ranches out here. Hopefully the signs coming down posted by #8 will turn into an avalanche.

Dems need to make the point that farmers' anger shouldn't be solely focused on Trump. It needs to broaden to include the republicans that enable him.

Sure, it was more likely than not that Trump wasn't going to follow through with much of what he said before the election.

And if you point out to rural Trump voters that Trump told us exactly what he was going to do, you'll often hear, "well I didn't think he was actually going to do it!". Maybe not as often as, "well I didn't think it was going to affect me."

The former statement honestly isn't a terrible assumption.

The latter would be a terrible position. Either way, they bet the farm on it.

To be honest, surplus production of soy/corn the way we do it is terrible for the environment.

For example, if every soy/corn farmer in the Mississippi basin went belly up, marine life in the Gulf of Mexico around the Mississippi Delta would rebound substantially.

"To be honest, surplus production of soy/corn the way we do it is terrible for the environment."

And for the fat Americans.

Interesting. 16 posts in and still not a single rebuttal or denial from MAGAs on this thread. (Probably still awaiting their talking points.)

made cuts to services they rely on,

What service?

What program got cut?

None. They just made spending cuts by using pixie dust instead of money to pay for things.
