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.
