Farm related news sites. And yes,these Farmers are still kissing Trump's fat ass. Have to remeber,in that last Tax Give away,most of these Farmers will be paying zero Taxes. And the ones whom leveraged themselves beyond their estimated asset Values,well, they are toast. But,Chapter 12 is the latest gift that keeps on giving. Like Trump,they can use the Bankruptcy Court to discharge their FSA Guaranteed debt and do Debtor in Possession .

What this will boil down to is this,Cargill,ADM and Bunge will just control more of the Farm Economy with the loser's becoming minimum wage farm hands,much like the 1980's.
