Keep in mind that seasonal crops are going to be harvested soon, and nobody will be getting good prices from foreign sales this year. I know most farmers can ride out at least one bad season, but if the current policy continues into next year you can bet that a huge number of farms are going to completely collapse.

What the fuck did they expect to happen? Where do stereotypes of farm hicks come from?

Trump won't help them, because he will never admit there is a problem.
