We sold working farm land a couple of years ago. Glad we did!
Trump's tariffs were already putting the big squeeze on farmers before this war of choice. Things are only getting worse ...

The (OK, not probably "the" but "a") problem the farmers are facing is that this is a critical time for them, i.e. planting season.
Farmers warn of 'food supply shocks' as Iran war disrupts global shipping www.wesh.com
... Hegseth said the U.S. military is working to keep the shipping lane open. "The only thing prohibiting transit in the Strait right now is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open for transit, should Iran not do that. Now, there's a reason why we chose as one of our primary objectives to destroy the navy. We understood the ability to interdict shipping is something Iran has done for 40 years. It's key terrain," Hegseth said. The fighting is starting to ripple through the U.S. economy, with AAA reporting that gas prices nationwide are nearly 70 cents higher today than a month ago. Farmers are now warning that food prices could be next. "About 40 to 50% of some of the most needed fertilizers in the world travel through the Strait of Hormuz," said John Newton of the American Farm Bureau Federation. The American Farm Bureau Federation is warning the president that disruptions to fertilizer shipments during the critical spring planting season could threaten crop production. ...

But, I thought Pres Trump has said that we won?
Why is Iran still firing at shipping?

Because you're an idiot. You hardly need a navy when you can fire missiles from the beach. That home field advantage, and all that.

JD Vance is an investor in AcreTrader.
What is AceTrader?
AcreTrader is a real estate platform designed to make buying farmland accessible to investors, rather than directly for farmers.
So.
JD Vance supports policies that are bankrupting farmers because JD Vance directly benefits from their bankruptcies.
The fact he's the Republican front runner for 2028, should Trump step down or die, is disappointing.
Republicans are the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

We hate fascism supporters. It's not our fault that most farmers are dumb enough to support fascism.
And yes, paying higher energy prices to keep russia from destabilizing the world is worth it. Paying higher energy prices to distract from the epstein files is only worth it for pedophile defenders.
