Fun fact, a government study concluded switchgrass yields more ethanol and uses less water than corn. Yet, the government doesn’t subsidize it as a crop.

“The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service noted in a report at the time that the USDA’s Commodity Credit Corporation provided a combined $28 billion in trade aid for farmers, including $12 billion in 2018 and $16 billion in 2019. Compensation rates were determined based on affected commodities using 2017 production levels, while eligibility was based on applicants’ income levels and how much of that income was derived from farming, ranching or forestry-related activities.” From https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/how-much-did-trade-war-relief-cost-during-trumps-first-term (April 2, 2025)

Do you feel like Cartman today? Wanna drink conservative tears? There are tons of videos from farmers and small business owners on youtube who voted for Trump talking about how they now regret everything. When I’m feeling particularly spiteful, I’ll click on a new one to watch. In fact, I’m going to go watch one now.

On the one hand, I want to say pull yourself up by your bootstraps welfare queens. On the other hand, I’m scared that this is one of purpose so that the oligarchy can buy up all the land and MAFA (Make America Feudal Again).

Folks, I wonder if this isn’t the way to get MAGA farmers on your side. They’ve been burned, and are possibly open to new alternatives. Maybe use some humor to welcome them over? Whatever, go ahead an downvote this

Quick, Democrats need to present the Save the Farmers and Children bill that immediately dispenses relief funds to aid Farmers AND releases the Epstein Files.

Remember, it isn’t welfare if you are a farmer.
