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.

Running a business is not easy, some farmers just don't have what it takes. OTOH, the smart organic farmers are thriving.
It's all about supply and demand and providing what people want. It's called capitalism, get it?

You call 2% a high demand?

Sales of organic food have grown by 20 percent annually, and experts
predict that the industry's share of the U.S. food market is expected to
grow from about 2 percent to roughly 3.5 percent by the end of the decade.

More FACTS:

Together, certified organic cropland and pasture accounted for about
0.6 percent of the U.S. total farmland in 2011. Only a small percentage
of the top U.S. field crops€”corn (0.3 percent), soybeans (0.2 percent),
and wheat (0.6 percent)€”were grown under certified organic farming systems.

The silliness of the trumptards never ceases to amaze. Not only is organic
small, if you look at that 2%, the intersection with that and the rotting
soybeans and similar is a tiny part of even that. What people are buying
as organic here mostly are vegetables, fruits, etc for human consumption,
eg lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and apples. And China sure isn't saying
we're not buying your crops because we want organic.

Which is why farm programs have existed since the 1930s. A bit
here if
you're interested:

I've been on or around farms all of my 60 plus years. There have
"always" been
farm programs. The first I remember is loans against the value of the
crop. The
old corn cribs had some sort of weather resistant sign on them saying
the crop was
mortgaged. The other most memorable one was the PIK (Payment in Kind)
program.
There was a lot of ground idled during that. Some he

Farms were organic way back when. Why do you suppose most farmers
started using the chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides?

But from what I've heard, so far, as a group, only the black farmers
have complained about this. I guess the white farmers still have hope,
but it will be interesting to see if they hold out all the way through
the 2020 election.
