fotografr Posted September 17 Share #1  Posted September 17 Advertisement (gone after registration) Yesterday I took a bike ride with a friend out to one of the small rural towns about 20 miles from my city. We arrived at noon so decided to find someplace to grab a quick lunch and settled on a small pub. These four area farmers were seated close to us and were having a loud conversation about the current state of affairs. They expressed anger and frustration about their rising costs and the difficulty of selling their products. Two of them had large soybean crops and had to drop their prices so low they were at a break even point. They were not happy at all with the Trump tariffs. The rural areas of this state are very conservative and were largely responsible for Trump winning this State in the election. Based on what we heard, I don't think these farmers would vote the same way again. D-Lux 8 Welcome, dear visitor!

You are so right. I honestly don't know how small family farmers can get by today. When I was a dumb teenager I looked down on farmers. Now, I have the utmost admiration for them. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 18 Share #6  Posted September 18 Absolutely superb. Being not that far from the Canadian border they might be feeling other effects of the current situation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
