Farms are failing where? More than usual?

New Jersey just declared a state of emergency after an unprecedented cold snap wiped out crops across the state, up to 90+% for some farms.

they are not failing, our Socialist President provides billions in handouts for Farmers so they gonna be just fine

  • We're losing a lot of workers. Some might consider that a good thing if they hate the idea of a large exploited underclass (or just people of a certain skin color), but it could be a problem for farms if there aren't enough hands to harvest in time.

    • Let us hope this results in farms offering Americans better wages for working on farms. Only 1% of the retail cost of produce is due to labour. Farms could double wages to workers and it would barely move the needle on inflation.

  • Oh come on. What they are trying to do is turn farm owners into corporate farm employees. The handouts are just to keep their votes.

  • He destroys trade relations so the farmers can’t sell their produce, then bails them out by taking on more government debt so farmers can dump soybeans in a ditch.

    It’s all such a clown show.
