Les Danielson, who has a small dairy farm and a grain business, says he hopes to talk with lawmakers about the hard times that American farmers have experienced as the result of Trump’s trade wars.

“For grain farmers, it’s as bad as the dairy situation,” Danielson said.

Wisconsin has been losing dairy farms at the rate of about two a day, most of them small, family-run operations. Many of those farms have been hemorrhaging money — or barely breaking even — for five years. The loss of those farms, and the impact on businesses and communities that rely on a farm economy, isn’t likely to be reversed.

“It’s really disappointing to witness what’s happened to rural America. Our small towns are just getting killed,” Danielson said.

Danielson said he’s seen dairy farms in his area go out of business, including one only three miles from his farm. He blames the trade wars for some of the demise.

“It seems like the first thing we did was to poke Canada and then kick Mexico. And with China refusing to buy U.S. soybeans for such a long time, and then doing everything they could to buy from South America, it’s had a huge effect on our markets,” he said...........................

1. Very nice, but...

all those leeches and vultures will say is that he must be a poor businessman, and therefore will get what he deserves. (The tragedy is that those animals are not likely to get what they deserve, as I am pretty sure the majority of them are making plans to bail on the US once their Great Leader is removed from office. As far as I am concerned, any wealthy person who removes himself and/or his corporation from America over greed should have his citizenship removed and not be allowed to deal with this country in any way.) Since the right has always said roughly the same thing about myself and other LGTBQ people, I say we make sure to say this stuff to any of those weasels who stand by this administration and this philosophy.
