Someone wants to buy US soy farms for cheap.

Nice job farmers. Now the corpos can gobble up your land for cheap and leave you out on your ass..... Maybe you shouldn't have backed the orange moron.
Don't start a war you can't win
Unless losing is your goal
Actually, these tariffs could be the thing that turn impossible burgers into the mainstream. Could you imagine if an impossible burger dropped substantially below a beef burger? You won't have to imagine it soon.
Can confirm, it tastes "good enough" to me that if it were the cheaper alternative I'd default to it.
A good fake meat burger beats a bad or mediocre beef burger any day.
But nothing still beats a premium beef burger.
You mean when a beef burgers gets more expensive? Ah, the illusion of "dropping" below beef burgers.
I don't know what sort of protein they're using, it might not be soy based. But this does mean Dirt Cheap tofu that they'd be selling at a loss just to get rid of all the soybeans. You could also end up with warehouses full of soy protein isolate that needs to go somewhere which could be a very cheap source for a lot of things for years to come
Without the Chinese purchases, the prices are too low to make harvesting profitable or at least if they have no buyer, they get no profit. The beans will die and rot in the fields. Then next year comes around and they don't have any money to plant new crops. I am not sure if insurance for crops is a thing anymore in the US but next spring the fields might be empty.
Its incredible just how the fast the US is falling from the world stage. Even Britain remained super relevant after the controlled demolition of their empire.
Britain kinda had to turn insular after the world wars. I don't know what's happening with America but it smells like hubris. It's pretty worrying, too.
Unfortunately, they will continue to love trump and vote against themselves.
Trump did this shit his first term and they voted for him again knowing full well he would do it again. Fuck'em
he also bailed them out, but this time he has no reason to bail them out, he wants thier land now.
Oh my god, it's happening. My country made it into the news without it being something hideous!
Wir haben es geschaft meine Brüdis!
Wenn du aus Argentinien bist, warum sprichst du dann Deutsch?
I will fight tooth and nail against any bailout for these chuds. They voted for this. Stew in it, chumps
Exactly what they voted for
In Trump's last term, farmers were bailed out with some nice cash infustions. They figured that in his second term, Trump would bail them again with some sweet sweet cash and that's what they thought they voted for. They were wrong.
If I remember correctly, Trump's last term made cash payouts to farmers because ... wait for it ... China wasn't buying crops from the US (particularly soybeans) in response to the tariffs imposed by Trump's first administration.
So I guess they weren't entirely wrong with that "he'll do it again" mentality.
So they voted for welfare for themselves basically. That's MAGA for you.
American farmers reaping what they sowed. Or not.
Watching these dumb fucks lose their farms and try to pull themselves up by their bootstraps working for minimum wage at Dollar General is going to be one of the few amusement that will come out of the next few years.
Fucked around and found out. You picking up what you threw down flyover states?
Ohhhh nooo!
Fuck republicans and donald trump. You are responsible for all of this and the blood is on your hands dude.
Trump also took their taxes and bailed out Argentina. Lmao.
Never write a check with your mouth that your ass can’t cash.
They shouldn't be bailed out. They should just lose their Farms. Solid from some hippies to make a commune instead, it's a way better use of the land
They won’t be. Small farms will be foreclosed on and predatory corporations owned by billionaires will swoop in to buy them up, further concentrating all wealth into the hands of the few.
Tyson, perdue, foster ,,,etc. and plus vances ACRETRADER app.
They aren't going to be bailed out. This was planned. The corrupt government wants their land and bankrupt farmers sell the cheapest land.
