"MAGA farmer Skylar Holden, who bet his livelihood on Donold and lost. Holden had a $240,000 contract with Trump’s USDA for fencing, wells, and water lines—but before he could cash in, the funding was frozen. Now, after sinking $80,000 of his own money into improvements, he stands to lose everything.

All told it’s a $320,000 disaster. All because he trusted Donold."

Since the farmers can afford all these expensive tractors, and the fuel [red diesel - should they even be on the public road with that?], they can afford to pay their taxes; taxes which are far less than the majority of taxpayers are obliged to pay. And why have they the time to do this, when they have farms to run? They keep telling us they have to work 24/7 for almost no wage.
Are any of them subject to the congestion charge that others are obliged to pay? #PayYourTaxes #Farmers #UKPolitics

#DonnieDumbass' shuttering of #USAID is going to cost U.S. #farmers $340 Million dollars in unfulfilled contracts this year (and possibly *Billions* over time.)

It's interesting to me the scant #media attention this is getting (at least in the #USA)

"Roy Coffer, a farmer in Oregon, said he’s not too concerned since President Trump has promised to target criminal immigrants.

“We expect the criminal and really bad people to be deported but the hard-working folks probably should be okay,” Coffer said"

I hope he's checked around for leopards....

Thousands of UK farmers are planning a week-long strike in protest at changes to inheritance tax, stating the new 20% inheritance tax will spell the end of family farming…

ABC's #ThisWeek may be the one bright spot this #SundayMorning.

They will be talking to #farmers about T****'s proposed #MassDeportation policy.

THINK ABOUT all the people who voted for T**** b/c he railed about the price of Groceries, and just how much higher food prices might explode if his policies are enacted. 🤦♂️
