    1. Senator Grassley should support impeachment of T-Rump to remove him from office … if not then hes just talking empty words .
      Republicans are now having a war against ethanol , same time when they have war against coal miners … funny senator Grassley is republican , go figure .

    1. Sean Dring ….and Canada, and Brazil, and Mexico……the list grows!! Soya will be dead to American farmers for a generation! Talk about voting against your own best interests hahahahaha!

    2. @Graham Campbell good roundup ready soybeans and corn pollutes our water and causes cancer so good riddens to it

    3. @Dave Schultz Unlike you, most farmers aren’t looking for handouts — they’re looking for markets to sell what they produce. And those handouts? They do nothing to address the huge losses in equity that farmers are suffering — the value of their farms drops daily while tRump’s tariff idiocy continues. It takes a special kind of stupid to think that a handout covering part of sales losses does anything to address loss of their actual businesses…homes…equipment…dignity. Work on your trolling – it’s getting seriously pathetic.

    1. They still support him. They aren’t very bright, and haven’t considered the fact that it’ll take a good decade or more before they get back to where they were pre-Trump, and that sweet Trump welfare will be gone real soon.

  1. More Socialist Welfare Farmer payouts to allow for Trump Corruption. Those waivers put $ in the fat cats wallets and Trump get’s his cut. How much campaign $$ did he rake in ?

    1. Dan Seven it’s all true and so sickening sad to know this is reality’s full force. Sometimes I think the good of this world is being ploughed under. If he gets in again, everything is lost, and that goes for the rest of the world. Putin is in Africa as we speak, China is warring up their might, and the weak leadership of the world are following suit to Trump’s likeness, such as Brazil. The bad guys are winning while the good men stand back to let it happen. We should be on the streets begging for the # 25 to be applied.

  2. You’re right farmers are his big support group, bend over, Hold On Tight, just like everybody else, now it’s your turn

    1. Stop growing corn for ethanol and grow Food for People we’re not going to need the ethanol anyway

    1. @Troy Stocker sorry to burst your ” intellectual bubble “, but everyone knows what ethanol IS, I just did not, do not, know what you are trying to say !!!

  3. MAPA yep make America Poor Again Trump gets richer and the rest gets poorer who knew oh I did🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂

    1. Why is Trump the only President to take on China? The Dims LOVE China because they are dripping in dirty Chinese Money and gifts.

    2. @Dave Schultz Because he needs to pander to stupid people like you with showy but poorly thought out moves, that will ultimately nothing but harm the economy.

  4. *Now lets see how many farmers vote for the Orange Monster in 2020! This will definitely reflect their intelligence or lack there of.. We shall see…*

    1. @ObamaisnextLincoln Especially when Trump is constantly eroding confidence in any news station that doesn’t flatter him and lie to make him look good. These idiots follow right along and yell “fake news!” every single time someone says negative facts relating to Trump.

    2. @Arturo did you know that FOX is on his sh*t list now? He told supporters we need to find another news media this one is no good now. Lol. Google: trump fued with FOX. Lol

    1. Have you heard trumps favorite FOX news is in his line of fiery twitters now. Google: Trump fueds with FOX.

    1. That’s not the issue. The real issue is just enough Americans are also dangerously corrupt and incompetent. I thought we learned from WW2. Nope.

    1. Maybe the same amount you suffered from the last six presidents who didn’t care about the American people.

    1. @New Blue 2 hardly. the democrats made the choice easy…appears theyre about to again………….??….youre just a sore loser(too).

    2. @New Blue 2 who SHOULD i support??…..ewe would think ewe would have an answer……??………no??…….sheep.

  5. Haha, “he screwed us!” Ironic truly ironic… I still have no comprehension how or why anyone is continuing to support trump.

    1. Manuel Villacana : Let welcome and forgive those who cross the line, back to patriotism; whilst offering NO QUARTER to those who refuse. Like Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, The Duke of Wellington, etc. Whatever it takes ✌️👍

  6. Americans get ready to subsidize or pay for another one of trumps stupid deals.2020 cant come fast enough

  7. The stupidity of farmers thinking a man like Donald Trump ever represented them. I have zero sympathy.

    1. It’s been a while since a snake oil salesmen like Trump has come through this part of the country. Their grandfathers would have run him out of their towns after one look of him. They just didn’t know better.
