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.
We don’t have a farm crisis.
We have an idiot-in-the-White House crisis.
That says it all.
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?
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.
