A countryside scene in Torrey, Utah of a farm with irrigation running. It was a chilly morning so there was frost on the ground where the water was hitting the field of what looks like green grass. Two wooden barns add to the landscape along with a peak of some mountains in the background @fineartamerica 5-jennifer-white.pixels.com/fe

An Upstate New York #farmer is reeling from the increased cost of business amid President Donald Trump’s trade war with multiple countries.

Nicholas Gilbert, who tends 1,400 cows at his dairy farm in Potsdam, close to the Canada border, told The Atlantic that a recent order of #livestock feed cost him $2,200 extra due to tariffs. The feed came from Ontario, and he mistakenly believed his supplier at the Canadian mill would cover the difference.

"Steve Sinisi of Old Crow Ranch in Durham was among dozens of farmers who paraded through the streets of Augusta on Wednesday on tractors bearing signs like 'Support Farmers, Not #Billionaires' and '#CompostTrump.'

"The more than 100 farmers and supporters were there to protest the millions of dollars in federal cuts to agricultural grants and programs and raise awareness about the impacts they would have on their farms and livelihoods."

Whereas there were CONTRACTS to pay #farmers to improve ecosystem services on their land to benefit us all. these were Reneged on

Finally these same agri types were decrying #moralhazard of homeowners being bailed out of their mortgages 08-11

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Swift

And he gave it for his opinion, that whosoever could make two ears of corn or two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) English writer and churchman
Gulliver's Travels, Part 2 "Voyage to Brobdingnab," ch. 7 (1726)

#Trump claimed that his #trade policy will be “great” for the American #farmer because they won’t have to compete w/foreign producers.

Actual #farmers point out that the #US #agriculture industry produces far more corn, soybeans, pork, chicken, cattle etc. than Americans could possibly consume. Farmers say they need foreign markets, but other countries impose #tariffs on their goods in #retaliation for Trump’s tariffs. That cuts them off from the foreign customers they need.
