Trump promised he’d help farmers, but he hasn’t. Instead, farmers across the country are struggling to get by, and they are losing patience with Trump’s erratic policies that have only made things worse.

Farm bankruptcies rose by 13% over the previous year, loan delinquencies have reached a 6-year high, and exports are down nearly 7% from last year.

UPI: “Between July 2018 and June 2019, the number of farms that filed for Chapter 12 bankruptcies (a type of bankruptcy designed to allow family farmers and family fishermen to restructure their finances) rose by 13 percent over the previous year, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation. Loan delinquency rates have reached a six-year high. And nearly 13,000 farms disappeared in 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.”

Politico: “Farm exports in fiscal 2019 are down nearly 7 percent from 2018, exacerbating one of the toughest periods for agriculture since the 1980s farm crisis.”

Farmers are struggling across the country, and they’re losing patience with Trump’s erratic policymaking.

UPI: “Farm experts say these figures indicate a troubling trend in American agriculture. Farmers are struggling to stay afloat.”
