Fox news reporting for 3 days now, Iowa farmers about evenly split. One young farmer admitted he was voting his wallet, a vote for Biden was a vote for increased trade with China equals prosperity. Another crusty old pro Trump farmer says, "I want to be inspired by my leaders, not given a handout". I have always held people who work the land, generally in higher regard, thinking they hold traditional values....once again, maybe I made a mistake.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Quote
President Trump has gained a 7-point lead over Democratic nominee Joe Biden in the battleground state of Iowa just three days before the Nov. 3 election, according to a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa poll released Saturday.

According to the survey, conducted by Selzer & Co.of Des Moines, the president garnered 48 percent support while Biden garnered 41 percent support. Trump's lead is outside of the survey’s 3.4 percent margin of error.

The poll could be an indicator that Trump is pulling ahead in the state after recent polls in Iowa — a battleground that Trump won by 9.4 points in 2016 — showed him neck and neck with the former vice president.

China is already buying a crap ton of ag products despite the tariffs and Trump is bigly in favor of the ethanol boondoggle so he should be in good shape with them.

One of the few things I disagree with Trump on, but I am willing to buy fuel stabilizer and seek out pure gas when necessary in order to keep communism at bay.

Not around here. My guess is that “young farmer” had it all handed to him he didn’t earn it thought he was big roller rented high dollar ground built big house took wife to Mexico for the winter , now reality of farming hits wife still wants to go to Mexico and he can’t afford nothing. This is a world market, I repeat world market. If China doesn’t buy someplac3 else will. I want to see mr young farmer dry corn with a windmill( Biden= less fossil fuels like natural gas) wanna see him plow a field with an electric tractor( Biden ending big oil) and trying to grow crops without chemistry(Biden more restrictions) . He also maybe be near Des Moines a liberal leaning city as well

Does this idiot really think he will prosper under a president who is in the pocket of the Chinese? Biden will regulate idiots like him into bankruptcy so the Chicoms or a Biden family member can buy up their farms.

From what I've seen that "one young farmer" may be the only farmer in Iowa voting commie.

Plenty of closet Democrat farmers in Montana living(getting/gotten rich) off subsidies.

Jon Tester thanks them for his senate seat.

Fox is just as bad as other outlets for this.

Journalism is dead amount the old time standard bearers. They’re bought & paid for.

Saw one news outlet some time ago interview a "farmer" that didn't like Trump. Pretty obvious he was at best a hobby farmer, but the media sure tried to make him look big time riding around on his 20 horse Kubota pulling a finish mower...........

I have to say I never thought the time would come when you simply cannot put a single iota of trust in anything those people say. If they told me it was daylight outside at 9:00a.m., I'd have to walk to the window to verify, and at this point, I can't even understand why they would bother being honest about that. They will simply make crap up when it's even easier to tell the truth. They'll lie when the truth would fit their agenda even better. Unbelievable.

In reality there are few family farms left that are not hundreds of acres large. But, the large producers seem to be 2 to 1 for Mr. Trump over defendant Biden. As for what few family smaller farms are left I would say they are 60/40 for Mr. Trump. The smaller farmer tend to have a separate "job in town" and depend more on government hand outs. Although, folks who work the land and put in a lot of effort doing so tend to vote for folks who value hard work. Joe Biden does not fit that description. Just my observations.
