And no tariffs on what they produce either.
Yet another coincidence....

Seems the only common denominator for bankruptcy is ....
TARIFFS.


Tariffs are the proverbial straw. The government has been propping up
agricultural producers for decades. As Earl Butz said when he set USDA
policy 'Get big or get out.' The weaker members of the herd are getting
culled. iirc Brazil brought a complaint against the US cotton subsidies
to the WTO in 2002.
