“The [Iran] war has made so much uncertainty for us as farmers,” said Pam Johnson, a former president of the National Corn Growers Association.➡️➡️➡️ “It’s projected that farmers aren’t going to make any money for the next two years.”
This is snowballing & aid to farmers will likely be double from what Trump aided them in his 1st term. His 1st term Trump's aid to farmers totaled
$93.3 billion
2017:
$11.5 billion in direct government payments
2018:
$13.7 billion
2019:
$22.4 billion
2020:
$45.7 billion
I have a feeling that this is also intentional. Meaning rich folks have been buying up farmland & some are renting the land out. "The USDA's latest 2024 survey found that 348 million acres of U.S. farmland were rented out, and 79% of those acres were owned by non-farming landlords. That's an enormous amount of agricultural land controlled by people/entities who aren't actually farming it"
