Farmers on welfare: U.S. tariffs on China 'devastating' to rural America

[Denizen]

This is an embarrassment to US farmers to become welfare recipients under Donald Trump.

Farm bankruptcies are up and small-town America is hurting and some towns may even be shriveling economically as farmers cut back their spending in response.

The Trump farm welfare is not enough to rescue rural America as farmers who aren't producing won't be spending their Trump welfare in town.

Farmers don't want Trump's welfare, they want their markets back.

Could Trump have harmed rural America in perpetuity?

U.S. farmers continue to voice their anger at Washington's protectionist trade policies, which have cost them dearly despite a second round of aid by the Donald Trump administration.

The President of the Minnesota Farmers Union, Gary Wertish, has criticized the U.S. tariff measures against China, noting that agricultural subsidies provided by the U.S. government are far from offsetting farmers' losses.
"No the farmers do not want that," said Wertish in an interview with CNN. "We want our markets back. We do not want the money from the taxpayers."

"It already has driven some farmers off the farm, which not only hurts the farming community but it hurts rural – small rural communities," Wertish added. "It's been very devastating to rural America." ...

If farmers have to go on welfare for a while instead of letting the Chinese take over our economy, then they have to go on welfare. Everyone should do his part for the country.

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

when theyre not holding up the farmers they're holding up dead kids and drooling over your rifles after a mass shooting

Farmers are on welfare all the time...Ever heard of ETOH and wind turbine subsidies, Corky?

If farmers have to go on welfare for a while instead of letting the Chinese take over our economy, then they have to go on welfare. Everyone should do his part for the country.

.... until they lose their farms? Small towns in America could shrivel and die. The small businesses in small-town America are not getting Trump welfare.

The markets may not come back as Trump has demonstrated free trade is no longer free.

National Farmers Union VP says bankruptcy, suicides rising in rural U.S. amid Trump's China trade war

... "It has been insane," Edelburg told America's Newsroom anchors Sandra Smith and Jon Scott Thursday. "We've had a lot of farmers—a lot more bankruptcies going on, a lot more farmer suicides. These things are highlighting many of the news stories in our local news."
Recent national data and surveys show rural mental health problems are rampant and rising among U.S. farmworkers.

A Morning Consult research poll released May 1 and backed by the American Farm Bureau Federation found 91 percent of farmers and farmworkers said financial issues are impacting their mental health. About 87 percent of those surveyed said they fear losing their farms and one-third of rural adults have personally sought mental health care.

The NFU and other farming industry groups confirmed to Newsweek they are taking more precautions and offering more resources to prevent suicides in 2019.

National Farmers Union Director of Government Relations Matt Perdue told Newsweek Thursday the group established a website, farmcrisis.nfu.org, to help family farmers and ranchers make tough decisions. As Madison's State Journal newspaper reported in January, the government-backed Wisconsin Farm Center, which helps distressed farmers, saw calls go up by 33 percent last November and December.

Wisconsin saw a record 915 suicides in 2017, which experts cautioned may be a direct result of suicides and suicidal thoughts among farmers buckling to the financial pressures of not getting a fair price for what they produce. ...

Japan is not buying 1/20 of what China did, even with the new deal. Corn prices kept going down even after the trade deal announcement. On the 19th they were up to 3.70 and today they are down under 3.60 again.

Farmers are on edge like they have not been in anyone's memory.

I was part of a Crop Tour last week and it was so evident how stressed our farmers are. The police had to come to one of the nightly meetings in Nebraska because it got so contentious and a few of the farmers had been drinking a bit too much. Then a farmer not part of the tour threatened the life of a USDA official over corn estimates. Neither of these things had ever happened in the 25 plus year history of the tour.
