Trump tariffs to hit small farms in Maga heartlands hardest, analysis predicts

Major corporations are best placed to benefit from Trump polices at the expense of independent farmers

www.theguardian.com

Its good that maga farmers will feel the worst of trumps tariff nonsense.

But its not good that farm bankruptcies will see consolidation of the sector into large corporate agribusiness.
I doubt even the frothiest maga voted for that.
Its also good that team trump is working on a bail out package. But this will likely benefit the donor class rather than the small farmer.

Farm bankruptcies surged by 24% from 2018 to 2019 – the highest number in almost a decade – as retaliatory tariffs cost US farmers a staggering $27bn.

Im sure it will be ok this time.

Actually the farmers will also benefit from the tariffs.

What about the new trade deal with Britain? win-win or lose-lose, or have no clue.

I suspect it will be good for the US.

Farmers always need subsidization for one reason or another…we look forward investing in a better future for farmers…We see past our nose.

Sure, I opened the link dumbass, and dug deeper. How else would I know his pitiful number of followers. But I didn't have to, just the content, more leverage against foreign agricultural imports? Are you serious. We run a trade surplus when it comes to agriculture. Most of our imports are tropical products. Just how much coffee can we grow here? Bananas? You know the top selling SKU at Walmart, bananas, although I got to say, avocados run a close second.

And like I said, the damn poster probably has never held a hoe in his hand. I come from a long line of farmers, growing up, I worked the fields, I milked the cows, thousands of acres in production. Soybeans, corn, winter wheat, corn, soybeans. Two year rotation, five crops. Why are soybeans in the mix, impress me and tell me why.

We sold all that land, to Mexicans, and now, well they produce the crops, tomatoes and bell peppers. We just sit back and draw the interest. I always dreamed of being a coupon clipper. Impress me again and tell me what that means.

Purdue Survey: Farmers More Optimistic About Ag Economy Despite Tariff Concerns

A new survey from Purdue University says that America’s farmers are more optimistic about current and future conditions on their farms despite recent concerns over President Trump’s tariff strategy and lower commodity prices. Notably, a majority of

Despite a rise in investment sentiment, nearly two-thirds of producers in April’s survey still said it was a bad time to invest, suggesting persistent caution among a majority of U.S. farmers. That group’s outlook helps explain the sharp decrease in new farm equipment sales that took place during 2025's first quarter. According to the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, sales of tractors with over 100 horsepower fell 19% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, while new combine sales were down 38% from a year earlier.

snip

Expectations for short-term farmland values weakened in April, as the index fell 8 points to a reading of 110. This change was driven by a decrease in the number of producers anticipating higher farmland values in the coming year, balanced by a comparable increase in the percentage of producers expecting values to remain about the same.

The April survey included several questions focused on the impact of the U.S.’s tariff policy on U.S. agriculture. Even with the improvement in overall sentiment, farmers remain concerned about the near-term effects of U.S. trade policy. Over half (56%) of respondents said they expect the U.S. tariff policy to have a negative or very negative impact on their farm’s income in 2025, and 53% anticipate some difficulty in obtaining inputs as a result of higher import tariffs. Among those expecting supply challenges, fertilizer was the primary cited concern, followed by parts for farm machinery and electronics and crop chemicals.
