Trump won Arkansas with 64% of the vote. May they get the day they voted for.
“In the last 14 months, five of my customers have committed suicide. That’s how serious this is,” said another Arkansas farmer who also works as an ag equipment financier.
Jesus Christ.
I'll send some thoughts and prayers (since I can't afford much else these days)
Hmm, when Trump's treason and corruption can no longer be denied, maybe we'll have an epidemic of MAGA suicides. Too bad they ended funding for suicide hotlines.
Too bad they ended funding for suicide hotlines.
I forgot about that. IIRC, Canada had setup some new hotline to help Americans or something along those lines.
It’s already a very poor area, I can’t imagine anything looking more bleak than an entire lifetime of work slip away. What is your purpose after that?

Shame on you! If those poor ~~kids~~ facists could read they would be very upset!
Hope they don't get a fucking dime. Cant vote to fuck the country then ask for handouts from the blue states when it does.
Fuckem. Reap what you sow, assholes.
Not just the country, but literally themselves
US farmers are the biggest welfare queens around. They don't know how to actually earn an entire dollar by working.
It's only gonna get worse. We're heading towards dustbowl 2.0.
I haven't been wanting to say it, but it's crossed my mind several times over summer.
There's a reason I've been stocking up on non-perishables
With tariffs and aluminum, plus the rotting food on farms, that's all the more reasons to do this. I bought eight cans of tomatoes recently and probably as many beans, with the intention of more
They watered their crops with librul tears and are now complaining that someone salted the earth. May they learn to actually think about what their vote will accomplish.
FEMA Agriculture assistance while supplies last. Maybe vote blue next time.
Didn’t Trump say he was shutting down FEMA because the states could do a better job on their own? So let Arkansas figure out how to bail them out this time.
I bet nearly all of them will continue voting Republican (or just stop voting altogether).
They'll shove a fork in their eye while chanting "Let's go Brandon".
They're fucking idiots.

“Struggling Arkansas farmers” or MAGA bootlickers that fucked up and voted for a shifty, no-good, greasy, New York sidewinder because of some-dick complex? #fuckaroundandfinout #youdonefoundoit #gofuckyourself
What's the over/under that Arkansas farmers actually learn from this and stop voting Republican?
Zero, that level of rational thought makes them understand how fucked they are, at which point they kill themselves. Or sell the farm to a megacorp while they're still above water on their loans
And I'm not joking about the suicide thing. There's suicide hotline programs specifically for farmers realizing they're going to lose everything, which of course have been cut
In the 00s my uncle was in a position where Monsanto was suing him for not holding up his end of the contract, because he had a bad crop year. Anyway, my grandparents bailed him out by financing a lawyer who settled for him, and it really didn't fix the problem at all. He still lost his farm, my grandparents were no longer wealthy because they kept trying to help him, and the uncle died a couple years later to cancer (probably driven by stress). They bailed him out because they were afraid he'd kill himself over the farm, and it took him out anyway
Damn, that's rough. Monsanto are fucking demons, honestly? Solid chance they were making him use some product that causes cancer. Either way, the whole industry is horrible, sorry your family went through that

screw them Trump boot lickers
This is a tragedy! Monsanto won't be able to squeeze them for more money if they go out of business! Think of the large corporations!
Monsanto was bought out by Bayer a whole back. It no longer exists.
Since Bayer is a larger company with more leverage against farmers, they are squeezing them harder than Monsanto ever dreamed of.
Monsanto will just buy their farms for pennies on the dollar
from the video: "it's hard not to be moved by the cries of those who put food on your table"
do not forget that most of them are huge mega-corporations that own vast areas of land and don't operate based on small-families, but rather economies of scale
and also do not forget that most of these farmers probably voted republican and also that they would decry the exact support measures they're now asking for as "communism" if these support dollars would benefit somebody else.
those who put food on your table
They can fuck right off.
They're doing a job and running a business just like everyone else. I don't care if I eat their product or not. It's a commodity.
They've spent years voting and acting against their own interests. Maybe they shouldn't have been so fucking stupid.
Farmers are such cry babies and think they're special. They aren't. The only thing farmers have done in the US is let mega corps beat them into a ditch. If they can't do the job, someone else will.

People act like these guys are going to get left out in the cold. In Trump's first term when his trade war with China fucked over the soybean farmers the government bailed them out.

I feel for the odd person who isn't a maga muppet in that group. The rest just need to learn how to use that dildo they asked for in the election. Slide that bad boy right in you dumb sonsabitches.

Fuck, that's rough. Guess we're gonna get dragged even more into corporate farms
All this winning is getting exhausting
They could self deport and get a cool thousand dollars !
they can't handle the winning. I think they need to keep winning
... And Trump will look down, and whisper:
No.
Hundreds of farmers ask struggling federal government to save them.
The federal government put you there. Kinda doubt theyre gonna reverse course
As someone from rural Arkansas who in my early life was around these farmers and their families quite a bit until I was in my mid twenties. I can tell you they are some of the most obstinate people you can meet. They regularly got welfare in the form of subsidies and then talked trash about anyone needing welfare or food stamps. Some of those people were their workers.
I've watched them buy new vehicles and trash them in just a few years when they could have taken care in the fields with them. Instead they would twist them like pretzels pulling and pushing on farm equipment instead of thinking things through. They didn't care because they would be getting some graft from the government to pay for a new one.
So no they don't need help. Unless it mental health. They will never vote in their best interests. They will continue to believe they are better than everyone around them. They will of course whine like toddlers when they don't get their way.
lol no
Fuck no you get nothing!
There's an actual prayer at the end of that article.
Edit: nm, it was quoting a prayer from one of the farmers at the meeting
lol, get wrecked nerds
