Project 2025 proposes eliminating the Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs, which “[protect] farmers from substantial drops in crop prices or revenues” according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The plan would also “ban farmers from receiving ARC and PLC payments the same year they also receive crop insurance indemnities,” undermining farmers’ ability to plant the next crop. Moreover, Project 2025 would make it harder for small and family farmers’ to access capital via Farm Service Agency loans and undermine their ability to expand to new markets. The plan also calls for eliminating crop export promotion programs, such as the Market Access Program and Foreign Market Develo

The establishment democrats see nothing wrong with whats happening, their donors are the same corporations as republicans, the trouble is they have to pretend to care about people where as the republicans don't
The job of establishment democrats is to push down the actual left (DSA) and keep the corpo money train chugging along until the republicans win again and they can say "Gosh golly, we just didn't capitulate enough, oh well, you'll just have to vote harder next time"

So when we tell them they’re being fooled and lied to, they don’t believe us. They grew up thinking that everything on tv is true. They still believe it. But only their media outlets tell them the truth.
The truly unfortunate truth, is that they live in an alternate reality to us. And I don’t know what the solution is.

Not really. The really big farms are benefitting from the expanded H2A visa program. They gain more control and effectively "lock-in" seasonal workers where undocumented migrants would have left due to bad conditions, unfair treatment etc.
You're right that they want slavery back, and this is getting them really close. The workers on the visas can't change location, quit, or complain without being sent back, so, the workers who were desperate enough to apply will accept worse conditions as a result.

I remember during his first term when he started his rhetoric, VICE did a piece where they went to job employment centers, asked people who came out if they were blue to find a job today and when they said no they offered them a job. They showed them farms and ranches where they would pick crops or milk cows and they all said no. These were people looking for a job and were offered a job to work agriculture and they all said no.
Our farms only survive because of government subsidies and cheap migrant labor, but those same people who needed them voted for the person who got rid of their workers and who undercuts them with policies like giving 20 billion to libertarian friends in Argentina, about 90 percent of all tariff money that came in during his first term went to bailing out farmers after Chinas soybean retaliation.

Are farmers the real welfare queens? Looking for a handout now that they fucked their supply of cheap labor, and we get to foot the bill at the grocery store. Pathetic.

Good food going to waste I was taught by my parents that, that was a sin. In this day and age with the economy and wars, it really is.
