   Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

   Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

   Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

     ps. If you're worried about how small farmers going bankrupt... most small farmers are millionaires with a 6-figure income. From a day job off the farm. Small farms don't have enough acreage to lose real $$.

     It's the bigger farms that will suffer the most. That's why they're hollerin for bailouts. https://youtu.be/mD50nJzDFLA
