Right? Everyone who voted blue, voted to save their farms and when we lost they laughed with their 'cry more liberal tears!!!!'. Maga literally voted against keeping their farms and mocked us when our plan to save them failed.
Trump screwed them his 1st term and then gave them all a huge fucking bailout, so they voted for him again for another bailout. Except Trump doesn't need them anymore cause he's gonna use his gestapo, fear, and friends to rig the elections for years to come for his side.
And they come at us with their 'but you're the party of acceptance, you have to help us!!". Except we don't. We accept people who are decent and caring and can't find acceptance because of religion, race, creed, or sexual orientation. It is not a carte blanche acceptance to be abused, threatened, and mocked by Maga at every turn. People are DYING because they voted with their greedy, piggy hearts.
So no, no one cares they might have to pack their shit and leave their homes. No one cares that farmers are disenfranchised when people have lost their lives and families because of them. No one cares that farmer 'Go Fuck Yourself Libs' might have to get a job picking their neighbors crops for pennies on the dollar when children are turning up pregnant in concentration camps because of rape by ICE officers.
We tried to help you once and you showed us who you really are. And we don't help monsters pull themselves out of the trap they willingly walked into because they were promised a check.

These are the people who were convinced that if our government dispatched masked mercenaries around the country to harass dark-skinned people, Trump was going to conjure rainbows with pots of gold for the "real Americans". You can't be that hateful and that gullible, expecting pity you wouldn't show others.
Fun fact, Mr Farmer: the rest of us have already accepted what your decisions at the voting booth have brought to pass. We are preparing for the potential end. Our government has been overrun by apocalyptic/genocidal billionaires; all because you thought a gold-plated, pedophile Messiah was going to make you rich.
But..you expect pity when your welfare-subsidized farm is going belly up?

I don’t know why anyone would feel bad for these rural geniuses.
When you see them say things like ‘that’s not even doable’ the reason they sound exhausted is because they’re just tired from all the winning.
They might be a little tuckered out when the bank comes to take their farm but don’t worry, those are just liberal tears they’ll be crying so they don’t count.

When all you do is raise crops, you don't have manure to put on the field. Gotta chase those high yields though.

118 TONS of fertilizer? I don't farm so obviously it's an extremely different scale, but Jesus Christ by mulching and mulching alone I can keep my vegetable garden having good healthy productive soil.
What the fuck are you doing to your soil that you need to inject literal TONS of nitrogen, regenerative farming is the future.
•
u/Separate-Pain4950 1d ago
Iowan here: Mono culture has pissed away in 100 years half the topsoil that took thousands of years to accumulate. They can harvest one corn crop without added fertilizer. Every corn crop after that won’t be anywhere close to yielding the maximum bushel per acre. They painted them selves in a corner relying on foreign produced fertilizers. They will be having the day they voted for. Take your medicine, Iowa corn growers.
•
u/witchspoon 1d ago
Corn, for instance sucks nitrogen right out of the soil. Things like beans replace it but that’s not a crop that is subsidized/highly profitable.
I’m guessing there’s not enough composted cow poop to use on their fields either.But also fertilizer is affected by someone’s tariffs with Canada.
•
u/Bender_2024 1d ago

I'm no expert but it seems unlikely that someone who is using that much fertilizer is also raising cattle. You would do one or the other. Not both.

u/GreatPlainsFarmer 16h ago
How many tons of compost are you applying to your garden on a per-acre basis? A 100’ by 100’ garden is about a quarter acre. He’s applying a couple hundred pounds or so of that fertilizer per acre, or 50ish lbs per 100’ by 100’ square.
How many tons of vegetables are you producing per acre on a dry matter basis?
The average acre of Iowa corn is producing more plant material than an average garden by an order of magnitude. Veggies dry down pretty light when you take out the water. You don’t get much off an acre on a dry matter basis.
You don’t need much fertilizer because you’re not removing a lot of plant material from your garden. He’s removing several tons per acre of grain.
Those nutrients need to be replaced in order to not deplete the soil.

This is all by design. A feature the 4D chess they all misunderstood is that now their farms will be purchased at pennies (or now nickels being that pennies are no longer minted) on the dollar by billionaires. The plan is working perfectly

Sorry framers but those same fertilizer companies that are price gouging you donated heavily into Trump's campaign and personal finance. Any "investigation" is just bs lip service. It's a pay to play administration and they paid and now your getting played.

u/Coffee-pepper 21h ago
What's stopping them from using other sources to fertilize their crops?
I wouldn't be sitting around waiting for the government to help me; I'd be researching other avenues to feed my crop.
For example, for future crops, the German method called hugelkuktur. This worked wonders for my gardens, but it does take planning and 1 year prior to build it up and let it "ferment". But once it's ready, it lasts for years!
I'm pretty sure there are dozens of alternatives available to farmers rather than just fertilizer; cover crops, compost, animal manure, etc...

That increased his overall costs by about $30-40/acre. Since that video was filmed, the value of his corn crop has increased $120-180/ acre.

They could blame Trump for starting a war his advisers told him would shut down the Hormuz Strait, through which 33% of the nitrogen fertilizer used to travel through.
But nope, it's the fertilizer companies. I'll never understand it. Maybe it's because they love the stimmy checks so much.
