Actually Argentina got $20 Billion so it's like 1,000x worse

And no those customers don't want to buy our crops anymore BECAUSE WE WERE GIANT ASSHATS so we better put our big boy capitalist pants on and find new ways to earn a living

Big thanks from Brasil. Our soy exports are up like 30%

Guess the farmers will have to sell their farms to billionaires for half price now.

Go work for Amazon while Jeff Bezos uses your land to save money on groceries.

I would MUCH rather LITERALLY LOSE MY ENTIRE INDUSTRY AND WAY OF LIFE then to have ONE Trans Kid NOT feel suicidal!

-LITERALLY all Republican Voters!

More generally, VOTERS killed farming in America.

Most farmers voted to burn their own fields... again. The same man who nearly crippled American agriculture last time was welcomed with open arms. Tariffs, trade wars, and labor shortages wrecked their profits before, but somehow they lined up for another round. It is like watching someone hire the same man who burned down their house and expecting him to rebuild it this time.

Customer retention is a huge thing. Customers are often hard to get and easy to lose. Piss them off and they'll find an alternative and they are not coming back. Trump has crippled us for decades.

IMO there's a good chance that Trump's second term will mark the end of the United States as a super power.

Dear US Farmers, You wanted America First... Enjoy being America Alone. Have the day you voted for.

kind regards, The rest of the world

Trump is bankrupting America like he bankrupted all of his businesses.

Yes, but now the US can use all the water to train chatbots that invent facts wholecloth. Checkmate, China.

What I don't get is how come this hasn't translated to more plentiful and cheaper soybeans here for the local market. You can't buy fresh soybeans at my local grocery store. You can only get them frozen and they're about four bucks a bag. Which isn't hugely expensive but it's not exactly cheap either.

This is why a responsible government is slow to change. Because move fast and break laws doesn't work for a democracy.

My wife said this tonight and it really hit me: China will be eating burgers and America will be eating soy

That's one way to get the farms into the hands of billionaires for cheap.

I hope we all like soy beans because that is going to be the only affordable thing in the grocery store.

Padme: this will mean cheaper soy products for U.S. domestic market, right?

I eat quite a bit of soy because I'm meatless.

When this shitshow is over It would be nice if we could reconstruct our farming practices to focus more small local and sustainable farming instead of corporate conglomerates that damage our environment and wipe out biodiversity.

This is why farmers shouldn't monocrop. Even if a farmer doesn't care about the environment and soil health, monocropping makes a farmer vulnerable to the volatile nature of geopolitics and the global economy.

Hey there woah ... if you say something bad about djt, he'll dump on you from an F35 so EVERYTHING is PERFECT no matter what you say.

No the farmers that voted for Trump killed farming in America.

Canada, Russia, Belarus and China are the major players in potash mining and production. The US doesn't mine or produce any in a substantial number. The US has huge import tariffs on China, and can't currently buy from either Russia or Belarus.

Canada needs to put a 50-70% export tariff on potash. That would crush US farming.

If Trump wants to play, let's burn them to the ground. Here is your 51st state you cunt.

Ok, ultra corrupt and all, but at least from environmental pov (especially water) killing soy where USA grew it en masse is a really good thing afaik.
It was too forced & unsustainable.

I'm going to end up emigrating from this fucking country primarily so I can stop bailing out dumbfucks.

This is absurd.

We're going to bail out "bootstrap" assholes after they were warned they were going to kill their own livelihoods. Fuck that clown shit.

That is the result of a hyper individualist society, USA is literally the cancer of the world and now it's hurting itself
