Farmers Warn That Trump Is About To Cripple The Economy - Farron Balanced



Farmers across the country are warning that the latest moves by the Trump administration could absolutely cripple the agricultural economy, which would then send shockwaves across the entire country. The main issue - beyond tariffs and deportations - is that the Trump administration has cancelled a vital USDA program that accounted for as much as 35% of the total income of farmers. Without that money, many local farmers will not be able to survive much longer. Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

The question remains, when and where or if we the people are going to take action.
