The whole point is to ruin farms…a fire sale on farmland that can be sold to corporate farms who can pollute the water and air with impunity.
There will be no one left in these communities to demand these corporations be regulated or pay taxes.

Any farmers out there that can speak to whether they can get info for planting season ? Or loans to help them get through this ?
Are federal offices open to even process loan requests ?

Holy shit. Republican Harriet Hagemen got torn apart at a town hall in Wyoming last night. In a state that voted for Trump by 46 points.
She tried defending DOGE and it went as well as you’d imagine.
“Deport Elon, Deport Elon!”
Watch to the end…

If so, there should be arrests.
