  4. Yeah, 11:34, those ten dullards could (will) beat DJT, alright...

    ...to the losers' column! Just like Hilly did! Her losing campaign showcased the lying crook to be remembered as the sniper-fire liar, philanderer enabler, Billy's victims blamer, classified documents exposer, gov't records destroyer, family foundation fraudster, Steele dossier financier/FISA fabricator, the REAL puppet for Putin, pal of convicted pedo Epstein, and Bernie briber to get him to abandon the nomination.

  6. The problem with farming is food prices are almost the same as they were 20 years ago. $1.00 for a dozen eggs or a loaf of bread? We should be paying more for food and those prices should be funneling down to our farmers. Can you imagine going 20 years without a pay raise but the prices for everything else keeps going up (look at the price of new farm equipment!)

  7. Yeah, the farmin' thing is tough. A local dairy farmer who sold commercially to one of the big local coop providers also shut down his operation and is sellin' off the herd. Being a farmer is rough. How many millionaires or multi-millionaires couldn't buy a $10k used truck with ca$h? Land rich, cash poor.

  8. 8:48 - So are you espousing the idea of artificially manipulating the prices of food? You do know there is a market (futures and whatnot) for farming goods. It's driven by supply and demand. Not too mention, farming is one of the most subsidized industries there is. You want to talk about socialism.

    I knew a few farm kids in college. Their families did just fine. You wouldn't know it because they saved money for leaner times, but they weren't poor. The reason bankruptcies are up is because of Trump. Plain and simple. Someone is losing in this tariff war and it's farmers. They have plenty of supply, the demand is just gone....again, thanks to Trump.

  9. Cheap priced bread and eggs=mass produced! Treat yourself and family to the GOOD stuff=farmer's markets and specialty sections in the grocery! Try making your bread!9/13/19, 3:03 PM

    8:48--Yeah, maybe food prices should rise a bit during the times that fuel, labor, and equipment costs are high enough to justify it. Many food producers sell huge quantities to gummint programs--schools, prisons, military installations, dining services for gummint personnel/elected reps in DC, low-income commodity programs within the US and beyond, and disaster response agencies. Very many agricultural businesses get subsidies, tax breaks, and special considerations for costs of insurance and lending.

    The savvy small, and many wise mid-sized farms, are operated by those who have another source, or two, of income. Equipment and methods have streamlined production and chores to the benefit of ag producers to be able to have time available for other employment. And, equipment and supplies have become costly enough, that an added revenue stream is desirable, or, actually necessary in efforts to manage debt.
