farmers largely aren’t working class… these people are wealthy, at least in assets, and make their money off cheap labor doing the actual work. corporate farmers still love to pretend to be some small family operation.

Farms in the US are mostly owned by large out of touch corporations, many farmers have to continually put up the assets they have as collateral to buy the equipment, feed, seed, etc to grow/maintain/harvest. I’m not super educated on it but my roommate in college is a hard leftist from rural America and she talked to me about it. I honestly recommend you look into it- it’s actually a big problem

i mean i agree that the few remaining family farmers are getting utterly fucked 24/7, but i reject the notion that the majority of people crying about the economy re: subsidies and agriculture prices are just poor working class people, when the reality is they just own land and pay poor people pennies to actually do the farming

Mind you, I’m in no way blaming or even hating on these farmers for their own opinions or decisions, what I’m trying to say is that they are the ones getting screwed over here and being deliberately misled by an administration that’ll lie their way past these people to appease some corporate or shareholder organizations

You’re right tho, working class division is truly a problem and I think a good place to start the whole unifying thing is to see these people’s circumstances and see the corruption in their plight. Farmers shouldn’t have to exist on razor thin margins and the ag economy in America should not be brought to its knees by tariffs and a blind eye from an admin that’s so prone to lying it looks like neglect
