It's been a really tough run for a American icon, The American Family Farm.
The weather is killing the farmer and then there's the trade war.
Below, is a picture of picture of President Trump, discussing a bail f farmers.
Two men in cowboy hats stood behind President Trump in May as he announced a $16 billion agricultural bailout. Trump said the financial relief from his trade war with China would help American farmers, reinforcing an earlier tweet when the president said the funds would help “great Patriot Farmers.”
But not all beneficiaries of the taxpayer-funded program are American farmers or patriots. JBS, a Brazilian company that is the largest meat producer in the world, has received $78 million in government pork contracts funded with the bailout funds — more than any other U.S. pork producer.
JBS’s winning hand in securing a quarter of all of the pork bailout contracts is one example of the power a small number of multinational meat companies now hold in the United States. JBS has become a major player in the United States even as it faces price-fixing and other investigations from the federal government.
This foreign meat company got US tax money. Now it wants to conquer America.
Meanwhile, the US's "great Patriotic farmers" are a dying breed.
“Data from the U.S. Courts reveals that for the 12-month period ending September 2019, Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies totaled 580 filings, up 24% from the prior year and the highest level since 676 filings in 2011,” it said."
Way to go, Donald Judas Trump. Another betrayal on Trump's watch.
