We don’t have a farm crisis.
We have an idiot-in-the-White House crisis.
“But the latest crisis has defied her careful planning: President Donald Trump’s tariffs and his war with Iran have driven up the cost of fertilizer, fuel and machinery just as weak crop prices have made it harder to cover those rising expenses.
“I am afraid that we’re looking into the barrel of another farm crisis,” said Johnson, a fourth-generation farmer, who estimates her profits are down by as much as 50 percent. “And we all know historically what that did to our … rural communities.” …
Johnson is among hundreds of thousands of American farmers who say they are desperate for relief from Washington as Trump administration policies raise costs and slash profits. Just last week, Trump slapped 50 percent tariffs on Canada, a critical source of fertilizer and farm equipment. And he wrote in a Truth Social post that he would pause tariffs on some imported ground beef in an effort to lower grocery prices, infuriating U.S. cattle ranchers who say the move would undermine domestic herders. …
“Right now, if you’re growing something in the ground, you’re losing money. And it’s not just a crop, it’s virtually every crop, and it’s virtually every region of the country,” said Senate Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman (R-Arkansas). …”
The fertilizer situation was already bad due to the war in Ukraine and the war with Iran for Israel. Trump’s retarded trade war with Canada isn’t helping matters.

“Farmers in America’s Corn Belt say they are facing their worst crisis in 40 years, as an explosion in diesel and fertiliser costs triggered by Donald Trump’s Iran war pushes grain producers to the brink.
The growing strains are the latest sign of how the conflict in the Middle East, now in its sixth month, is reverberating through the US’s heartland ahead of crucial midterm elections that will determine control of Congress.
“Inputs are way out of whack,” said Matt Bailey, who grows corn and soyabeans in eastern Nebraska. He said 11-52-0, a phosphorus-rich fertiliser used at planting time that was priced at $470 a tonne 10 years ago, now costs more than $900. “Where do you start with that? How do you budget for that?” …”
We’re all going to pay for this next year.
We’ve been paying for Ukraine for the last four years.
Everything that Trump has done is the complete opposite of “America First” and “Make America Great Again”. Now Trump is going to import 300metric tons of foreign beef in order to try to tamp down beef prices a decision which has drawn the ire of US beef producers and ranchers who enjoy their monopoly.
But, but….. wha ’bout muh Lake Murika un next to Soviet Kanuckistan? It’s not a yuge as the Gulf of Murika but it shows Donigula is thinking of Murika – kind of like a pimp thinks of a ‘John’.
We don’t have a farm crisis.
We have an idiot-in-the-White House crisis.
That says it all.
“We have an idiot-in-the-White House crisis.”
We’ve had a series of those.
Stupid electorate, stupid leaders.
“Stupid electorate, stupid leaders.”
You get to vote for who TPTB select as the candidates.
Definitely true.
In produce, 40% of the price is transportation.
Can you say DIESEL ?
Diesel is now about 160/bbl
In the 1990s all the institutions advocated ‘just in time delivery’ in emulation of japan. This is the opposite of Henry Ford who believed in large stockpiles, as most of American industry.
We need large stockpiles to buffer shortages and price swings, which would stabilize prices. We have strayed from all historic WHITE principles and common sense.
Instead of wasting trillions in warfare , welfàre, affirmative action etc. it should have gone to domestic infrastructure. But once race mixing becomes a national policy all sense goes into sewer in pursuit of insane policies.
NSDAP raised Germany, a very resource poor nation, to world standard wealth by concentrating on their own.
We’ve been suckered into fool’s altruism.
“We’ve been paying for Ukraine for the last four years.”
Who would want to get WHITES to kill WHITES, while draining WHITE nations of resources and making piles of money, as they’ve always done ?
Preppers don’t look so dumb now do they?
To a forethinking mind, They never did.
Preppers are still eating tinned beans that they stockpiled in their fortified bunkers when Obama got elected.
Stop watching your slop media and the “farm crisis” hoax will go away.
Yep, but the Golden Golem had to fire all of the DOGE folks going after the army of federal parasites and refuses to do a damned thing about many billions worth of unchecked fraud going in in NY, OH, MN, IL, CA and many other places. Too busy fellating Bibi and Miriam.
MAP Fertilizer: https://fertilizerprice.com/prices/map?period=1Y
Uh…how about diesel ?
Midwest wholesale diesel is up 40 % from a year ago. Fertilizer prices may be down because farmers are going to no till practices from conventional till .
They fired the most essential people in the SEC and CFTC. That’s why we have runaway borrowing in AI, accounting that makes Enron look transparent and ‘prediction markets’ that are just online gambling.
I have to agree with USofAIPAC here. I don’t know if it’s as bad as during the Clinton years in the Credit agencies and big f accounting firms, or during the Bush freddiemac/fanniemae mortgage banking fraud years, but it’s bad. That’s why Ive become extremely skeptical of anyone advocating deregulation or freeing our public schools.
> freeing our public schools.
What’s that about? They should simply abolish them altogether. They are nothing more than moron factories managed by shrill woketards anyway. Another example of how a completely corrupt regime corrupts everything. Abolishing the Dept. of Edumacation would help some if control were returned to the local level – partly. Some municipalities are well beyond hopeless. Little Mobutulands of Murika feeding like maggots on a rotting carcass.
Always pushing the Papist line Exalted. You Papists have wanted to destroy public education since day one and bring the little kiddies back to be indoctrinated by the nuns, paddled by the red headed big tit secretaries, and finger diddles by the priests since forever. We will not allow education to fall into the “private” hands of Papists, corporations, and weirdo donor backed social engineers. At least with government schools there is public accountability. In some states they still read the Bible. Hell, most Virginia county schools still read the Bible into the 2010s which is why we moved some of the fam there. Protestant States like Kansas have completely different public schools than those in Papist States like New York. If schools were privates they would all be shrtlu Conglomerates into Papist schools and Papist controlled corporate schools. No thank you.
P.S. I never understood why Southern States like Alabama just didn’t mandate Bible reading in schools. It would have overwhelming support.
US Conservatives/Republicans are too stupid to take over the institutions like the media, the entertainment industry, education system, etc when they are in power like the National Socialists did.
