American farmers say they are losing patience with US President Trump's trade war with China, as rising diesel and fertiliser costs squeeze margins and falling exports push more farms into bankruptcy.

Fat bailout queens. All of them.
The whole reason Canadian's tariff Ameican milk (after their 10% import quota is reached) is because US dairy farms overproduce their market, and then instead of accepting the consequences of having too much supply, they get their government daddy to buy up all the excess.
Then the government tries to force it down the throats of neighboring countries who have strict regulations on how much milk farms can produce to avoid this exact problem

If their "family farms" are inherited and paid for just scale down to minimums and ride it out. These people acting like there's nothing else they can possibly do. If they just "have to farm" could they not set up their own local/regional distribution chains?

Most farmers aren’t giving big bucks to Trump like Big Ag. So they are the only ones that he even thinks about. When a small farmer goes under no big deal to Trump.

Trump will still get money from Big Ag and the little guy that voted for Trump three times gets screwed.

Republicans WANT massive corporate farms. And they are willing to play the long game to get that. How farmers can't see that the farm bankruptcy numbers go way up when Republicans are in office, I don't understand,.
These fools think they are the chosen one that will end up as the farming overlord for their region. The problem is, that eventually only three or four corporate farms will be in charge. The odds of them being that "golden chosen" farmer are way, way, WAY stacked against them.

Pushing farmers into bankruptcy is by design. If only they had warnings. Guess they didn’t believe us when we tried to tell them people like JD Vance were investors in farmland with AcreTrader. And Treasury Secretary Bennett who straight up buys farms.
The cynical side of me thinks the only reason Trump and these guys keep pushing for lower interest rates “so people can buy homes” is actually so billionaires like them can buy bankrupted farms and other properties cheap. Like the housing crash of 2008. People with money got even wealthier off of regular American’s plight. History repeats itself.

But the trade with "war" China is minimally responsible for diesel and fertilizer pricing.
The attack on Iran and the subsequent war and closure of the SoH, and the tariffs and counter tariffs impacting Canadian trade. That's hitting the diesel and fertilizer pricing.
