American farmers face severe economic challenges due to a combination of factors including federal program cuts, trade wars with China that eliminated $13 billion in soybean exports, immigration enforcement that disrupted farm labor, and rising costs of inputs like fuel, fertilizer, and machinery. These economic pressures have led many farmers to regret their political choices and seek government assistance, despite previously opposing such support. The crisis demonstrates how trade policies, immigration enforcement, and agricultural subsidies directly impact rural communities and food production systems.

MAGA Farmers Are LOSING Their Farms… Now They’re BEGGING For WelfareAdded:
[crying and clears throat] >> It's all gone.
Everything is gone.
The pool, the brewery, the bar.
All of those houses are effed. This one is no better. Um >> Donald Trump cut billions of dollars from federal programs that funded small farmers. The same program that we got our grant through is no longer funded.
And we've just been left to the winds. I don't have anything to say to Donald Trump. There's nothing I can say that he would even listen to. He's going to look down on me like I'm a bug on the sidewalk or a piece of [ __ ] on his shoe.
He doesn't care about people like me.
>> This is terrifying. What? Farmers across America are going bankrupt. They're calling it Farmageddon.
>> Good. Serves them right for supporting Trump. You still don't get it, do you?
Where do you buy food? The grocery store? And you think food prices are bad now?
Just wait.
Tariffs have decimated farmers.
What do you think happens when you start ridiculous trade wars with other countries? Mhm, they get mad? Yeah, understatement.
China's the world's top soybean buyer, and soybeans alone brought in 13 billion dollars for American farmers last year.
Now those sales almost all gone. Yikes. And that's not all. These immigration crackdowns, some farms lost 100% of their workers, all kidnapped by ICE.
Now how do you pick food without workers? You can't. It's rotting in the field. Whoa. Plus seeds, feeds, machinery, potash, pesticides, all more expensive than ever before.
Then you add on high interest rates, and what do you get? Farmageddon? Bingo. And farmers were already three times more likely to die by suicide.
>> Farms in deep right Texas are shut down, and Donald Trump is the reason. Now as you know, Donald Trump has shifted ICE from focusing on criminal immigrants to going after easier targets such as job sites to pump his numbers up. But farms are hurting because of this as many of their workers are either being deported or not showing up for fear of being caught up in these raids. And because of this, they're essentially shut down and no work can be done. Just take a listen to one farmer.
>> Three weeks it started to slow, but this last week or so has been huge. That's when it's like zero people wanting to come out and then >> Yeah, zero people. Zero people going to work the farms. And while yes, these farmers are in the find out phase, we're all going to be in it because they're talking that our food supply or is going to be shut down or have major interruptions. And it's not just Texas, it's California and Washington. We are finding out that yes, immigrants do help the American economy. Amer- immigrants are part of the American fabric. We just didn't realize it till it was too late.
>> Family, nobody would have been able to convince MAGA farmers to vote, you know, against Donald Trump in the 2024 elections. Many of them were convinced that Donald Trump was the best suit when it comes to the leadership of the United States of America. Today, we are seeing a lot of regret amongst MAGA voters, especially those in Texas. They voted for Donald Trump knowing that their interest as MAGA farmers, especially white farmers, would be put to place.
But family, to their surprise, the cost of living in America is skyrocketing each and every day. The cost of fuel and fuel products is going high and that already means that it is very, very expensive even to maintain their farms. And many MAGA voters are losing their farms today and they are complaining asking Donald Trump for federal support. They want to be assisted, you know, with money to be able to maintain these very expensive, you know, farms, especially under the high cost of living that America is experiencing today. Many of these mother voters are regretting voting for Donald Trump and they are asking Americans for help in the midst of a crisis in the farming sector in the United States of America. So family, I don't you all to watch this video all the way to the end as many mother voters regret their vote and ask Donald Trump difficult question in the midst of them losing their farms.
Once the video is done, we will be back and we'll be doing a critical analysis about the same. In a special way, I request you all to subscribe to the channel. We are close to the thousand subscribers mark. Let us watch the video then we will be right back.
>> Oh boy, let's talk about how Trump is screwing the farmers.
Um I have a lot of soybean farmers who are my clients and I this is really bad news. Um Caleb Ragland, who's the president of the American Soybean Association, um he said farmers are heading into a harvest season without a single order from China.
25% [snorts] of soybean farmers crops are usually sold to China.
Um the prices of soybeans are down 40% because of what's happening under the Trump administration and production costs are rising.
I'm tying in the Trump administration to this. This soybean association president is still speaking up Donald Trump.
Um 500,000 soybean growers in the United States exist and are being severely impacted by this. They're having to now rely on loans to get them through the season. There are 231,000 jobs associated with soybean farming, harvesting, transportation, storage, you name it.
Um and he says the impact in the local rural community that depends on the farmer is going to be severely impacted.
Um South American farmers, soybean farmers are filling the gap. China is just hop skipping over the United States and countries like Brazil have got it completely covered. No wonder Trump is attacking some of these other countries south of us.
Um but then he went on to reit- reiterate that Donald Trump loves farmers and that he supports Trump. And he says that the Trump administration told him to tell the farmers to be patient.
I just want to explain what the soybean farmers are looking at. Harvest season is right around the corner. Imagine that there's a man- uh machine manufacturer that is on the brink of bankruptcy and they've got a whopping $50,000 in the bank.
And they've got to make a decision. Do we keep hiring people to build this one machine in hopes that we can sell it and make that money back? Do we drain that $50,000 and go into debt hiring employees, purchasing materials to make it happen, run our facility to make that machine, pay for transportation costs to ship it out in the hopes that we'll have a customer for it?
That's what they're facing.
They've got a They They've got to hire H-2A workers, those nasty, nasty brown-skinned people.
And I'm being very sarcastic. That's how MAGA looks at them. They've There's truck drivers that haul the soy. There's um storage facilities with silos that >> [clears throat] >> store them. The farmer pays to have them stored.
They're going to tell them we have no room because we're storing 10,000 other farmers soy products that are not being sold anywhere. Like, this is so [ __ ] devastating.
And when I saw that farmer in I believe Arkansas crying. This is a grown-ass man with gray hair.
Donald Trump, we love you. We need your help.
This is what MAGA doesn't get.
Don't leave a chair, a seat at the table expecting Donald Trump to come sit down and talk to farmers.
He will only sit at the tables that have billionaires and Project 2025 folks.
He's only focused on their agenda.
And the Project 2025 agenda includes changing the American farming industry that's going to [ __ ] screw every American farmer.
He's not going to come and have a seat at your table.
Just be patient.
>> This is not hippy dippy stuff we're doing here. We're farming. We're raising cattle for butcher. We're raising cattle for milking. Like, we're raising chickens for butcher. Like, this is not This is not some like liberal nonsense.
We're trying to do good things to provide good food to the American people and take care of our local environment while we do it.
>> There is a farmer who is is super viral right now because he's making many videos about how he's in trouble due to the current administration and how he might lose his farm, which is, of course, devastating and nobody wants to lose their farm.
And if you look at the comment section and you look at his follow-up videos, it's abundantly clear that he never bothered to consider Project 2025 or the plans that Trump clearly had for small farmers. How long were we sounding the alarm bells for Project 2025?
How many videos have I personally made educating people on Project 2025? It is devastating and not at all surprising how you all voted against your own interests and now you're complaining about it.
We told you.
>> Man, all I'm seeing is farmers in Arkansas, Nebraska. Why y'all crying?
Shut up.
This is what you voted for. This is what you asked for. He did it to you last time and you didn't think he was going to do it to you this time?
So, now y'all want some help.
Now y'all want them government subsidies.
Now y'all want that government money.
The same thing that you voted for not to happen, for people not to get government help.
You go like, now you got your hand stuck out.
Don't work like that.
You made this bed.
All that racism, all that hate, the same people you wanted to go are the same people that work those farms.
See, you let your racism get the best of you.
Now, all I see is Arkansas farmers. Oh, I'm about to lose my farm.
The government ain't doing this. The government You voted for this [ __ ] Now, you just got to eat it.
But meanwhile, you see my black farmers over there?
My black farmers that ain't been getting that government help, that been doing it on their own.
They fine. They chilling. They thriving.
So, maybe you might need to call some of them black people to get you some help. Oh, but you ain't going to do that.
You're not going to do that.
You're going to call Trump and them. But you know what? They're not going to answer. They're not going to help you, bro.
So, just like they tell us, them them bootstraps you've been talking about, I don't think you're going to have to grab yours and get to work.
We are >> family who knew that MAGA voters would be crying to their president today over the cost of living, and especially the MAGA farmers crying because they are close to lose their farms. During the 2024 elections, one of the things that Donald Trump told Americans that he'll do immediately he assumes office was mass deportations. Family, many of the workers in these farms were foreigners, and it is very, very funny that they still chose to vote, you know, for Donald Trump, even knowing good well that the people who are working in their farms are people who are in America illegally. They knew very, very well that most of the people who are working in their farms were immigrants. So, when Donald Trump took over office, and he pushed the mass deportations, that automatically meant that they lost a lot of, you know, the farm labor that they enjoyed through the immigrants. That slowed production in their farms. And family, mass deportation with itself alone meant that many of these farmers were struggling in terms, you know, of having people who usually worked in their farms for good prices. Not many Americans or not many MAGA voters or even white folks are willing to work in these very same white farms.
Family, many of the farmers today are asking for government assistance.
They're asking for grants and loans because they are seeing that maintaining these farms has proved to be a very, very difficult affair. But family, if if any Democrat would tell MAGA voters never to vote for Donald Trump again, nobody listened. They had one goal, to have a white man in office, and nobody would change their minds not to vote for Donald Trump. Today, they are feeling the heaviness of having such a leader in office. They are feeling the weight of choosing Donald Trump even after Kamala Harris told them good or that she was the best choice, not Donald Trump.
Family, the cost of fertilizer is going so, so high, and this automatically means that it is very, very expensive to maintain these farms. Family, the farm machineries need to use gas, and gas prices are skyrocketing each and every day in the United States of America.
Even after Donald Trump went on to fight with Iran, a war that he could have easily have avoided. And family, these are some of the things that many Americans are bringing up and questioning Donald Trump about his leadership. Why did he have to go to war with Iran while there are critical issues in the country that ought to be sorted before even considering war with a country that wasn't a direct threat to the United States of America.
Family, most of these MAGA voters, especially the farmers, are now looking back and just wondering why they did not listen to black folks as black people warned them about the condition of living under the leadership of Donald J.
Trump. Family, today the prices of gas has gone high because, you know, of these war.
Family, Donald Trump also introduced the 100% tariff to China and many other countries, and that already meant that the possible markets that these MAGA voters, who are farmers, had outside of America are now, you know, gone because, family, uh China does not have a reason to buy soybeans from MAGA voters in the United States of America while Argentina is offering the very same soybeans with a better price. The 100% tariff on China has made it difficult for many American farmers to get the Chinese market. They used to consume a lot of soybeans from Texas, from Arkansas, and many other areas in the United States of America.
But, family, it is difficult today because of the high tariff and the higher cost of living. You cannot sell the same soybeans that used to sell at price A. You want tomorrow to wake up and sell it at price B.
All your customers won't be able to buy it from you because they can get the very same product cheaply from other suppliers. And, family, that is affecting a lot of MAGA farmers today.
Their crops are rotting in their farms.
Family, imagine storing crops for months after harvesting. Many of the perishable products that are harvested from these very same farms are starting to rot in their storage places because family, if >> [snorts] >> you know, the prices of commodities still go high, it is difficult for everyone to even afford to support these farmers. Family, look at the cost of food generally in the United States of America. Not many Americans are able to buy food in the United States today, and this is not a coincidence. This is because Donald Trump has actually prioritized other things other than ensuring that the economy of the United States of America is stable.
And this is what many people have been questioning about the leadership of Donald J. Trump, and many MAGA voters are crying today. They are asking for government assistance. They want loans.
They want federal funding from the government because clearly people who've always inherited, you know, many of these MAGA voters have big farms.
They've inherited these farms from their forefathers. Imagine this generation of farmers is now losing these very same farms that has fed their families. A farm that has made sure that all their family members went to school. A farm that has ensured that all of them got decent health care.
Family, imagine them losing a farm that they've maintained all those years, and that is what is happening in America exactly today. Many farmers are facing a catastrophe that they never saw coming.
Some of their farm spaces are being taken up by the government for development projects. And family, many of them are raised, especially farmers in Texas. And to make matters worse, the farmers who actually voted for Donald Trump are feeling so, so bad because they joined the MAGA cult, and they never wanted to listen to what anybody told them. They thought having Donald Trump in office was the most important thing and they forgot that indeed all Americans would suffer having him in office.
Imagine farm produce not getting possible markets. Imagine them rotting in the farms. Imagine them losing their farms. People are selling their farm machineries to be able to maintain their farms and this is advancedly affecting them.
You cannot sell your farm machineries thinking that you'll be able to survive over the next few months and invest the money back in the business. Family farming has become a big big problem in the United States of America and people are crying and they are regretting voting for, you know, the orange man in office. Family, many folks were warned not to vote for Donald Trump but they did not listen. That is why I tell many MAGA farmers that whatever decision they chose to make then is now affecting them and they are finally feeling how black folks have been feeling as a people who are marginalized in the United States of America.
