:lol:   Then your not a very good one.  

To the contrary, quite good actually.  I understand how Trump is fucking things up for agriculture, and don't try to sweep what he is doing under the rug like your non-comprehending ass.  It is amusing that you tie your cart to political ideology so hard you can't criticize horrible ideas or actions because of who/what poitical side they come from.  It's laughable folly and foolish.

Actually I've been critical on Trump on a number of issues.

So how many acres do you "farm?"  

Some of my best friends and neighbors are farmers.   I deer hunted with farmers for 25 years.   Lots of time sitting in trucks waiting for the deer drive to begin discussing farming.   Every last one of them says the same thing.   While you won't always make a killing you'll never go under if you know how to do 2 things, farm the land and farm the govt.

Bullshit, a fleeting tisk tisk as above is all you have ever provided.  Stop fooling yourself.

Farm and ranch is a bit under 1000.

How much in crops?

As did I, I supported Sanders until he was clearly cock blocked by the Hillary campaign and the DNC. 

Hillary did not have better policies or history than Gary.  As such I did not vote for her.  You wasted your vote when you could have voted for Gary.

Just under half is crop.

I am a farmer and I am flat out telling you that Trump is fucking things up for farmers, badly.  Fisrt the TPP ordeal, and now the China trade war.

Chapter 12's were high last year, and are expected to increase for 2018.  Trump's current policies will only exacerbate those filings.

He is fucking up, plain and simple.

Well the list isn't very long for what they buy from us so there is only so much they can tariff.

Chinese can go fuck themselves.  

Can you think of a pork and soybean state off the top of your head? 

Since you will probably struggle with that question, I'll give you a hint.

Good luck to China. Argentina is in a major bean shortfall this year so they’ll gobble up a lot of brazils exports.

china will have to come to the US for beans. It’s inevitable.

poor wince got the facts wrong surprise

The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with China was $385 billion in 2016. China is currently our largest goods trading partner with $578.2 billion in total (two way) goods trade during 2016. Goods exports totaled $115.6 billion; goods imports totaled $462.6 billion.

Currently cropped or CRP?

Plenty goes into farm bankruptcies including buying too much or too expensive of equipment for their needs and paying WAY too much for ground.   I don't deny on the surface some of the things will hit some farmers however as crop prices fall feeding livestock becomes cheaper.    Some of it hits harder than others.  Livestock guys are doing pretty good right now.  Not all farmers are crop only.  Very few around me.  Some huge family farms take no crops to market and crop thousands of acres.   All goes to feeding livestock.  

I do feel this will sort itself out after negotiations are complete.   How nice of you to only concern yourself with YOUR industry.  :lol:

I don't know about that. Looks like China is gonna get tough and not cave like the others. I imagine Trump will respond with more tariffs for Chyna...

They will cave. They don't have the option to not. We are the consumption engine that powers china. And we feed them.

Dude, the vast majority of farmers are pretty diversified.   Well they are around me.   Many feed the vast majority of what they grow.  

Sure some crop farmers will take a bit of a hit but don't you worry govt subsidies will cover them.  

Industries we don't do reasonable trade protection need to be subsidized at times to survive.   We are paying either way.   Farms seems to need it either way.   Farming is its own enemy.   Maximize production no matter what.  Drives the cost down, govt gives them money they try and grow more to get more money.   Its a terrible cycle and in reality probably needs a shake up.  The mere fact good crop land isn't dropping in price much or even increasing tells me all I need to know.   Someone is making it work.  

Imagine in your industry if everyone just produced and produced with nothing sold.  Just kept going at it as fast as possible maximizing production no matter what.  Profits would likely tank.  3-4 good years and I seen an unreal amount of ground come out of CRP well into the contract.   4 nice wildlife waterways on my short stretch of road alone got dozed in all to gain an acre or two.   

I want to help farmers the much as the next guy but honestly the industry is its own worst enemy.
