I drive tractors and check on farmers

But the real question is; should this be normalized? Or have the bankers just figured out a way to profit off of farmers ambition and avarice?
I don't think most non-ag people realize that a huge percentage of full-time farmers/ranchers live almost entirely on borrowed money throughout the year. They take out an operating line of credit that pays for living expenses. Interest accrues. Then they hope to have a crop to sell, valuable enough to repay the loan P&I and their other term loans, with a few bucks left over to reinvest in the operation. I'm not sure of another occupation where this is common practice.

I am thoroughly impressed with the ability of this community to not wake up and immediately start licking the electrical outlets, I can imagine for some it is a real struggle. Keep up the good work guys.

@CBKimbrell Fake news 100%. But the family probably started a go fund me for reasons? So doesn’t really matter what truth is as long as everyone gets theirs

You mean cancelling 30 million didn’t just save the country? Is DOGE even trying?

@CropInsBatman @jzantinge2 You’re not offering this with your farmer update meetings? You are missing out, it’s a hit.

@Dusty42402999 I don’t know why anyone wants to be controlled by them. The kittel thing pisses me off because we knew since the 80s they act like that but somehow it’s all a brand new problem. Don’t get me started on the whole we need your crop ins because we have your loan

@GrainStats I would bet a significant amount of money that none of that was true. Theyve lied about so much already

Don’t you know that trade is awful for us? We need to become a isolated country, that’s what we voted for
The U.S. is facing a third straight year of record ag trade deficits. With 95% of the world’s consumers outside the United States, failing to secure new trade deals is costing farmers dearly. Nearly 1/3 of farm income depends on exports—we must do better.
