Don't worry, JD Vance will buy your farm after you go broke.
"Best I can do is a spit in your face"
It's not a dire situation for the people who want his land.
Yeah exactly. Big agribusiness will scoop these family farms up at very cheap prices. Follow the money.
Liberals become wishy washy and lose elections
Let GOP get in charge
GOP destroys the export economy
Americans are all now forced to eat mointains of feminizing soy
The secret long term plot against conservatives to turn them all gay and trans is almost complete!
Soy is not feminizing. Plant estrogens are not mammal estrogen. You have to actually take estrogen. It's really inconvenient.
Oh I know, the soy thing is a stupid meme pushed by right wingers. See also "Soy Boy" and "Soy Face."
You are correct but it's a common right wing myth. The Soy Boy diet making men wimpy girls was super common on right wing media.
I hate how the fucking conservatives have turned it into a talking point. Soy makes me pee out my butt, but if I'm too loud about avoiding soy, people assume I'm scared of the phytoestrogens.

They can always blame Biden (Joe or Hunter), Obama, or trans people! 🤡🤡🤡🤡
True maybe the sales orders are in Hunter's laptop. That's why they wanted it so bad.

Farmers:
Votes for Trump
Loses business because of Tariff backlash
Gets bailed out
Votes for Trump two more times
Loses business because of Tariff backlash
Who could have seen this coming?
Them. They see your pattern continuing.
Imagine if the government paid you to sit on your ass instead of going to work.
And since your income is no longer tied to any sense of production, you fudge your number a little and end up better off being on welfare than working full time.

I was about to suggest that maybe not all farmers voted for trump and thus they may not deserve the financial hardship, then I read this
"Despite his support for Trump, Ragland has become increasingly vocal about the need for immediate trade resolution. “We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. “We wanna encourage the administration to get a proactive trade deal done.”
lol, gfy.
Every fucking time it's, "the administration just needs to hear my argument, and they will realize this is a mistake and correct the oversight."
Like dude, they know exactly what they're doing.
How do these people not know who Donald Trump is yet, after all of this time?

Does anybody remember the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the trade agreement President Obama entered into, that would have opened the Asian markets to American farm products? The agreement that the Republicans ripped up when Trump started his first term?
But it had trans in the name. They had to get rid of it.

That’s ok, you don’t have anyone to harvest them anyway.
Guess we are all eating a bunch of tofu real soon.
Nah, it will all rot

During Trump's last term when he fucked over soybean growers, at least locally in my rural community, the soybeans didn't go to waste. They didn't rot in the fields or in storage. However, farmers ended up having to sell for way less than normal, and basically they didn't make any profit (many even saw losses) that year.
This issue with this year, again I can only speak to my area, is that by the time Trump was elected, most people would have already placed their orders for seed and the specific chemicals/supplies they needed for soy, so they're on the hook for it. They would have been facing the decision to take a sure loss (ex: if they didn't plant the soy they've already purchased and/or if they had to go procure some other crop seed and related supplies) OR they could go ahead as planned with the soy and hope for the best.
Where I live, most farmers aren't "soy farmers", they're just farmers. They rotate crops from year to year on a pretty rigid schedule, so one year it's soy, next might be corn, grains following that, then cover crop / hay. So, they better hope the weather holds up next year for whatever crop they were planning because I doubt a lot of them will be able to tolerate multiple years of essentially no profit.
Arrogant dickheads.
China has reached the point it can afford to say no.

Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions...

How all the soy boy beta cucks working for this administration will sound this winter while trying to reassure Americans we don't need to resort to cannibalism just yet bc we still have an insane surplus of unprocessed soy beans we have to do something with.
I say this as a vegetarian. I'm kinda looking forward to hearing what kind of propaganda these people will spin to explain the sudden 180. "Awkshully, soy has always been one of the most hyper masculine protein sources available in the western hemisphere."
Maybe if you do nothing and just let the crops rot they will auto ferment into blocks of tofu?
They will likely dump the crops in the ocean to keep prices stable like they do with many other surpluses. One of the worst things about capitalism, instead of trying to feed the poor or do something useful with it

I had to pipe in this old post from August 6th 2019
"Chinese companies have stopped buying U.S. agricultural products, China's Commerce Ministry said on Tuesday, a blow to U.S. farmers who have already seen their exports slashed by the more than year-old trade war.
American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall called the announcement from China "a body blow to thousands of farmers and ranchers who are already struggling to get by."
China imported $9.1 billion of U.S. farm produce in 2018 - mainly soybeans Sc1, dairy, sorghum and pork LHc1 - down from $19.5 billion in 2017, according to the American Farm Bureau.
Your Dumbfuck-In-Chief, folks. I'm sure someone has a clever retort involving emails, or pocahontas, or shithole countries."
