Farmers are begging for bailout

[dblack]

And yet, didn't you just applaud the state taking away SNAP benefits from the sick, poor and disabled claiming they just are enjoying too much cola and sweat deserts and need to cut it off?

Not me, no.

C'mon, if NOT for the trump tariffs, there would be NO NEED for a farmer bailout.

Hey Wanko--- if the system hadn't been set up for decades with us having trade 90%/10% rigged against the USA in the first place, farmers wouldn't be set up as they might be now needing a bailout.

Put another way, I'd rather FIX THE SYSTEM for fair trade, even if it involves bailing our farmers out a little for a while, than to never fix it at all.

Which is why he'll get them on the dole. It'll all even out - sort of. With the added bonus that government will be the middleman and have lots of new power to exert over our food supply. Go team!

 

[toobfreak]

Not me, no.

Plenty of supposed conservatives on this board supposedly endorsing limited government and constitutional freedom are strangely supportive of giving Big Brother the power to tell others what they can eat.

Subsiding farming started in 1933

You're having a bad night, eh?

I'm not fully onboard with tariffs and I'm curious how they play out but at some point the trade balance has to be evened out. They'll be growing pains and that's expected

They should embargo their products into the cities and starve them into submission

They'd want government socialist handouts while they had no sales.

 

[cnm]

They are called Machines, they exist.

One can easily see this guy's grown a few crops in his time.

 

[cnm]

To local hog and cattle farmers.

So why is China important?

 

[cnm]

Fields were worked fine even before the idiot left opened the borders to illegal aliens, rapists, killers and terrorists. The fed doesn't pay them to grow crops. They pay them to let fields go fallow to avoid over production. Most farmer get funds for CRP acres and other non growth programs.

Ah, socialism and central planned economies, eh?

Nothing finer.

Can you just imagine if this were 1940 and the Left were being called to arms to fight the Nazis?

• Women were being called to work in factories?
• Manufacturing was stopped so that all metal could go towards the war effort and ship building?
• Fathers and sons were being called to fight and die in France, England, and in the Pacific?

Democrats of today would be calling up Hitler a la General Milley in order to leak secret plans in order to help the war be over sooner.

Well, you are having a bad career. LOLLOLLLL

Do you even care to follow the news, the news is that China is not buying any soy beans from USA farmers, and has looked to Brazil to fulfill their supply.









AI Overview

China's primary soybean source is Brazil, which accounted for 71% of their imports last year and continues to be a major supplier in 2025, with China buying record volumes from Brazil amidst the ongoing U.S.-China trade dispute and retaliatory tariffs. While Brazil fills the gap, the U.S. still supplies a portion of China's imports, though at a disadvantage due to higher tariffs on American soybeans.

Primary Soybean Supplier

• Brazil: is China's largest soybean supplier, with record imports from Brazil in 2025 filling key supply periods.

Other Suppliers

• United States:
  The U.S. remains a significant, though smaller, supplier, with Chinese buyers facing higher import duties on U.S. soybeans due to retaliatory tariffs.
  
  
• Argentina:
  China is now purchasing soymeal from Argentina, with some traders announcing the first-ever sale to China for the fall to address concerns about hog feed availability.
  
  
• Other Origins:
  Other countries also contributing to China's soybean imports include Russia and Canada, according to data from the Observatory of Economic Complexity (OEC).
  

Context of Trade

• Trade War Impact:
  The ongoing U.S.-China trade war has shifted Chinese purchasing patterns, with record-high import volumes coming from Brazil to avoid costly U.S. soybeans.
  
  
• Tariff Disadvantage:
  A significant 34% total duty rate on U.S. soybeans makes them "prohibitively more expensive" compared to South American counterparts.
  
  
• Strategic Stockpiling:
  China has built up substantial soybean stockpiles, putting pressure on the U.S. market by delaying the purchase of new-crop U.S. soybeans.

WWII veterans are known as the greatest generation. They earned it, along with those that supported them

 

[cnm]

The flip side is without farm subsidies you're going to starve eventually

So why all this bullshit about free markets and rugged individualism?

Cultures fall on this kind of shit. Democrats and Republicans have convinced their faithful that the "other side" is a greater threat to the nation then foreign enemies.
