According to a recent report from the Nebraska Farm Bureau, the
international tariffs are costing farmers in the state $943 million in
lost revenue. The projected losses would be in addition to
tariff-related losses in farm-level income estimated between $695
million to $1.026 billion in 2018, according to the report.

Beyond Nebraska, Midwest farmers are also feeling the strain as
bankruptcies skyrocket. Data from the American Farm Bureau Federation
published in July showed delinquency rates are at a six-year high for
commercial agricultural loans in both the real estate and non-real
estate lending.

Wisconsin, Kansas, and Minnesota are leading the nation in Chapter 12
filings. Bankruptcy filings in Kansas and Minnesota increased so
significantly in the past year that they reached the highest levels of
the past decade, according to the report.

Organic farmers here are doing great...even without the USDA's welfare
subsidies.
Of course if you don't like organic, you can always eat genetically
modified crops grown in nutrient-depleted soil and marinated in glyphosate.
It's all about free choice.

Not much good if you're farm has gone bankrupt, leaving you with no
money and debts.
