Readers in Arizona, Michigan, & Georgia!
Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare.
If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call!
Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

People think I'm being hyperbolic when I say "Yeah the GOP is just pro-slavery at this point."
If their actual farm labor policy wasn't enough, there's always this.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.
Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.
Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

The median small family farmer in the US is a millionaire with a 6-figure income. Yes, after you take out farm debts & expenses.)

Ok farm facts are back!
China is so much of the global soybean market, you can't make up losing them by selling to other countries. There isn't enough soybean demand in the world to fill that dent.
And farmers... know that.

Attempting to farm Midwest-style on sand has led a lot of people to describe Southern soils as "bad."
This is false. Slanderous, even.
Sand is great!
Root crops love it! It's soft! Long skinny roots like carrots can push downward without hitting rocks or clay pans & turning into this

Farm fact: the South is famous for clayey red soil, but a lot of it is actually... sand. Like beach sand. See the yellow on the map here.
Why? It IS beach sand. That's where the shoreline was during the Cretaceous.

This is a great time to remind everyone that US farmers are a lot wealthier than we think they are.
Most *small family farmers* are millionaires. And no, it's not "just because they own land." Their income is much than average- yes, AFTER you take out farm debts and expenses.

Alas, nope.
96% of US farms are family farms.
Most of the so-called "corporate" farms are family farms. The families that own them just happen to be wealthy & have a lot of capital.
