Small farmers have been left despondent after Agricultural Secretary Sonny Perdue said last week their businesses may not be big enough to survive.

The piece described how Perdue's words were like"a kick in the guts."it showed the where the priorities of President Donald Trump's administration were when it came to the rural sector.

His union wants an end to mega-mergers, criticizes the amount of subsidies the biggest producers get, and is among a growing chorus pushing for a supply management system enacted by Congress that can curb overproduction, which hurts prices. "Those dairy farmers are really being cheated by the system. They are not bad managers. Anybody who has been in dairy for the last 15 or 20 years is a good producer and trying to do their very best but the system is set up against them. We are trying to stay in business with the largest corporations with their taxpayer subsidies.

Brazil has replaced the U.S. as China's top supplier of soybeans while Russia and Australia have muscled into the market once dominated by U.S. producers.

Fake news. But Obama wiped out as many as he could. A hole

No he not, your full of shit. Congress is doing that because they haven’t signed the Mexico and Canada treaty. You better get it straight. I am in a area of farmers. And Trump is working hard for us DA realDonaldTrump stick it

They got what they voted for. A crazy man with no idea what hes doing. Unless trumps plan was to destroy our democracy? Because that's what happening right now.

The farms for sale in no. MN would bring tears to your eyes. So sad. If they sell it will be pennies on the dollar.

He is endangering our food supply

Our government tells them to go big or go out of business. I'm no economist, but if small farms are struggling b/c of tariffs, climate disasters, etc how in the world can they afford to expand. That was this administration's goal - make it hard so big Agra could take over.

Of Course, we need to stop Trump now!!!!!!!!!!!!

And they couldn’t have seen this coming ? Over 80% of the two farm aid bills went to corporate farms, including two brothers in Brazil ! Trump doesn’t care about individual or family owned farms !

😥😥help Lord🙏

This is beyond despicable.

That’s by design. Who really thought he was interested in small business. Look no further than his own interactions with small businesses. He’s hurt more lives than he’s ever helped. That’s before he was president.

Why is it not congress for many years before trumps fault?

And this surprises who exactly?
