NAFTA killed my local commercial melon growing. People got used to cheap Mexican melons in the super markets and pitched a bitch when they came to our stand and saw slightly higher prices. I reduced my prices to my cost, which equaled the stores' prices, and they still bitched that they could just go to Safeway and pay the same price.

Quality had very little to do with the shoppers' satisfaction, so we closed down. For the next two years people would drive to my house and ask what stores carried my melons. I told them I sold all my melons to Mexico.

We got a 15 cent bushel payment on our little wheat crop.


Didn't amount to much, maybe .5% of the annual operating budget.



Wheat right now is the same price it was roughly 40 years ago.





Wheat prices might be the same as 40 years ago but inflation has gone up 120% in the same time. American farmers are the most inventive and efficient on the planet. My FIL farms, some years he knows he’s going to loose money but keeps going anyway.

I remember 39 cent bread when I first got out of high school in 1980. We pay 1.49- 1.99 now depending on where we get it. We've always bought the cheap stuff.

Gayghost, i cant believe you liebs, Sickermore included, bringing these pissants and molehills to try and accomplish exactly what? To turn us against a guy who is trying to turn this country away from its downward plummet?

Every time you pukes do this you get your ass handed to you on a platter and youre too stupid to learn that.

How are you lieberals stupid enough to keep trying the same stupid schiett?

I guess you suckers are so stupid you cant remember it.

You are definately too stupid to be able to draw on your brains drug addled memory to be able to compare the popcorn farts of Trump to your dimocommies traitorus acts and make a legitimate point.

I guess that explains why so many Americans are so easily sucked in to stupid chitt like "Our strength is in our diversity" or

"Open borders are nice and PC". It takes a lot of stupidity.

Forgive us for not swallowing the deep state NWO BS.

I have been in central CA my whole life, farmers always cry poor, but I have been to many of their spreads..usually to pour nice outside kitchens and patios.

I agree, but the Corn Mafia needs to earn its own way too.

It's not brain surgery. There are liberal areas (States), there are conserveritive areas (States), and there are neutral areas (States) that sell out to the highest bidder. It's always worked that way. Ethanol and cars got Trump elected. You can't expect those States to go unrewarded.


The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

16 billion ? By god it’s enough to make you wanna take your pink pussy hat outa the closet and March on DC 🤦🏻‍♂️


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

You dumbass .. The biggest expense in the farm bill is food stamp/ welfare programs. Most of which feed you lazy [bleep] liberals.
Take the lead and get all your Liberial buddies to quit consuming or use any type of farm product.

I have yet to see a Tesla but there are a few farmers who have close to a million dollars of machinery getting the crop in the ground.

It's just political payback. Farmers supported Trump and he's paying them back with our money raised by taxing (through tariffs) imports.

No one got hit as hard and fast with the trade war then the farmer....2-3 dollars a bushel less in a matter of a week...don't forget that 16 billion will go into the hand of massive economy spenders....
Or maybe we should give it to the homeless drug addicts and thugs so the money will end up in the hands of some drug cartel.

Dumb Jack Schiett, why dont you tell us how much better off we would be with Little Kim pitching icbms over Japan and Hillary shooting Putins jets over Syria down.

Tell us how much better off we would be adding Syria and then maybe Spain and Italy to the new muzzy caliphate.

Tell us how we would have utopia with a commie one world govt that the puppet masters of Zero and Hill named Rothschilds and Rockefellers have seduced you to.
