My farm was too small to ever “play the game” in commodity subsidies—I couldn’t expand fast enough to compete while the largest farms collected massive checks.

Cap payments for the biggest operations, invest in specialty crops, and develop local market infrastructure.

Biden invested billions in climate-smart farming and organic transition support. Trump’s tariffs hurt farmers, raising costs, while cuts to USAID shut down vital farm research. No clear Trump farm policy, just uncertainty. #JoeBiden #DonaldTrump #FarmPolicy #Agriculture

📢 India hikes rice MSP by just 3% — the smallest increase in 5 years!

🎯 Aimed at controlling surplus & pushing crop diversification.

🤔 But will it impact farmer profits or global exports?

Our farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our communities, & across the West, they have warned of the devastating impacts of a potential screwworm invasion in the U.S.

Well, the first reported case is here with a screwworm fly found on a calf in TX. We will do everything we can to support them!

Trump’s farm “rescue” is less bailout than circular billing: 🍊 starts trade fights, war shocks and subsidy surges, then invoices taxpayers to soothe the rural base he keeps squeezing.

The Washington Post editorial board argues that Trump’s farm-aid surge is not merely emergency help for producers, but a taxpayer-funded repair bill for damage tied to the administration’s own trade, war, energy and market interventions. “Most of the subsidies are intended as compensation for the White House’s own policies.” The Washington Post Editorial Board “[S]tate capitalism is no solution for farmers” The Washington Post Editorial Board
