Ask them who they voted for
Funny enough, when it hurts them they are concerned.
They all need to wear their red hats proudly
I would not wonder if they will loose all, get homeless, and would vote trump again. There is no medicine for stupidity. Oh and while wheezing "USA is the greatest country on earth…….."
Why weren’t they wearing their red hats???
SELL Local, no, farmers are hoping for the US to make a deal with some country so they can sell their products at higher prices and make more money. soybean thats what you get there will ALWAYS be another country that will underbid until something bad happens like a disease or virus from THAT country that tells the buyer that they do NOT check the product which is why they bought from the US, pay more and get what you pay for buy cheap and take the risk on the lives of your citizens
what upsets me the most is the government PAYS farmers to NOT grow food, SO GIVE IT TO EBT!
I know this is going to fall on deaf ears but try cutting cost for inputs using natural regenerative practices. Soil food web and Korean natural farming are some examples that work with nature instead against it with pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer, ect (all cost money). Also, instead of depending on China to buy it, let's use it to make our own products that we can use here.
Don’t feel sorry for these selfish people. That’s no tiny family farm. They are millionaires who voted to renew their tax cut. After permanently losing trade because of Trump last time from China they didn’t care. Sadly smaller farms can’t afford it and are deleting themselves. Imagine voting for your own death.
If they motivate Trump, I do not feel sorry, but they voted for it. Pull themselves up by boot scraps and work hard, and surely they’re not gonna take anything from the government because they don’t want a government handout. That’s socialism racism is expensive.
Really??! You farmers have been relying on Democratic subsidiary farming practices, voting for Republican tickets and agendas- especially this FAKE PRESIDENT currently waddling around golf courses every chance he gets- supporting his lack of attention and accountability, and you just now question your vote? Hmmm….jw evans, Tuscarora NV
Elect a clown, get a circus.
Who knew big, tough, invincible, American farmers were all such crying snowflakes?!
5:32 I should have voted for that black woman.
When you realize you are trapped in a hole. The first thing you need to do is stop digging.
Hate and racism brought us to this
Trump giving the farmers the tariff money is like someone wounding you and then promising to bandage it up after. Total manipulation for his base, but they'll eat up the slop.
Do they know that Vance buys up farm land when they go bankrupt?
Don't cry is what you vote for 😂😂😂😂
I see the tan, but no hats! Where’s your MAGA hats?!
💥Black farmers in America 🇺🇸 been suffering for years with NO help from the federal government!😡🤬😤
Yet, they've managed to survive this evil American 🇺🇸 system of racism!👹🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙄
A river of MAGA tears flowed across the land, washing farmers deep into the find out stage.
Why should I care what kind of plate these people are in? They betrayed the entire country when they voted for Trump. They don’t produce food that we eat, so what is the value of these traitors? And they still defend him at the end, this is why I will never care about their problems
I feel sorry for the folks interviewed in this story. They are hard-working Americans.
They were lied to by the man the majority of them voted for.
TARIFFS DO NOT WORK! They only hurt people like these farmers. Tariffs drive up the costs to the consumer.
The President says he will use tariff money to bail out farmers. But farmers don’t want bailouts. They want a market for what they produce.
And why help out the competitor for American produce, Argentina? That is wrong!
Democrat lawmakers need to tour farm country in an effort to find solutions, including funding for therapists like Joley Foreman to help the farmer community to cope with the pressure of dealing with the problems they face. Bring Republicans along if they are willing to tour with the Democrats.
Americans must come to the aid of other Americans. We cannot count of politicians who lie and help politicians in other countries.
One year ago, things were better The only thing different is who is in the White House.
Thanks to 60 Minutes for this story!!!
Unfortunately, they believed Trump was for them then voted for him. FAFO. TRAGIC
The new CBS “News”. I guess all the real journalists have quit.
Well…. that's what they voted for
I do feel badly for my fellow Americans who are farmers. But 80% voted for Daffy Donnie!! You’d have to be stupid and dumb to have put your faith in such a a lying, seditious, grifting, thieving, adultering, criminal like Old Diapers Daffy!! Remember farmers…Daffy has made billions by lying and cheating while you work hard, sweat and do the right thing and go broke!!
