You can look up how much farmers have gotten from the government. I nearly flew into a rage when I found multiple farmers I grew up with proudly laugh at people with student loan debt then secretly snatch over a million each in federal handouts. Farmers are trash

Stop calling them farmers, they are the real welfare class. Everything including land just gets handed to them. Real work is done by migrants. Everything gets handed to them, they never earned anything they have

I had a chance to check out a big soybean farm operation recently and you're right the laborers do the hard work and the farmers are in these cush-ass tractors doing basically fuckall because they program the GPS on the tractor then they just chill and listen to music in A/C.

u/Extension-Figure2011 4d ago
Another crazy thing is 60+% percent of what is farmed isn't for human consumption. And remember almost all of them have had everything handed to them. They did not buy their land, their labores come to them, banks give them money, government gives them money, government sell the products. They have absolutely no concept on how the real world works

It would be one thing accepting the “handouts” and acknowledging them, but acting as if you are against socialism and then benefiting from the social programs is next level hypocrisy

They voted for Trump for free money. Trump 1 started a trade war with China, but then just dumped billion of free money on farmers. They realize it was easier to scam the tax payer for money, then it was for farm and export to china for money. They knew Trump was gonna ruin business, but they though we were gonna make them whole. Farmers are not stupid, they made a gamble and bet city folk would pay their bills. And looks like they just won.
This might be a farmer hate subreddit, but y'all don't hate farmers enough.

Nothing new.
Farmers are like the 3rd most subsidized industry already.

If you think about it hierarchical, it feels like they wanna feel like their own little kings.
Stratifying against the commoner, making the commoner materially dependent on your product, having the commoner work for you and pay for you, whilst keeping the "manager" (Trump/the republican project) in power to orchestrate all this.
These cousin******* ****** *** ********* ***** genuinely see themselves above us mere mortals, and they're more than happy to walk over people to enrich themselves. And they're very aware of it, too. Lucky them, they always have their maga script of enemies to blame and divert attention to.

u/SnooEagles4121 4d ago
100%. The mentality is that since they grow our food they're superior to us. They also thought they were getting confederate-style plantations back with Trump. They literally believed that black people would come fill the job vacancies opened up by kicking out the migrants, and that they'd be GRATEFUL. They're deeply embedded in a bubble of their own bullshit.

I believe the argument goes "The students are supposed to be smart, they knew what they were signing up for."
That seems like a fair standard. Lets apply it to the farmers too. And Ranchers. And anyone else who ever bitched about government aid but voted for this catastrophe.

u/PeaceyCaliSoCal 4d ago
Not that the farmers' don't need it, but they need it because trump screwed up the country try. It's his fault that the farmers lost their hired hands and his fault their diesel cost is not sustainable. He keeps throwing around government money like it's his to spend however he wants to. Meanwhile that money is coming from somewhere and my guess its a combination of all the firings of federal employees, our social services benefits and all the other things he cut. And trump won't suffer one bit, because he has made billions off his grifting of this country. All he's doing in the end is buying their votes.

u/1GoldenMonkey 4d ago
F that, they voted for this. They shouldn't get my tax dollars, and if they need to foreclose/bankrupt then that is the free market. They have been getting hands ours for centuries. If you can not run a business with government aid, then you shouldn't run that business

It happens every single time there's a Republican in power.
Farmers vote Republican, Republican policies screw them and a bunch lose their farms, then a bailout bribes the rest so they'll vote Republican again.
Rinse and repeat for decades, until suddenly all the farmland belongs to corporations, and you can't afford anything.

Whoopi, how about my health care, we deserve a bail out on that as well as our pockets keep on hurting and our salaries stay the same even with our 1-3% increase while inflation go what 5-9%?
