Iowa farmers snag $767 million so far in Trump's 2019 bailout, the most nationally

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

With $767 million in payments, Iowa farmers are the biggest beneficiaries so far of President Donald Trump's second bailout package for U.S. growers, meant to offset damage from ongoing trade disputes with China and other countries.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced this month it would begin the second of three rounds of direct payments from this year’s $16 billion program. So far, it has sent $6.9 billion to farmers, nationally.

After Iowa, the states getting the most federal assistance in this year's program are Illinois, at $707 million; Minnesota, at $519 million; Texas, at $497 million; and Kansas, at $474 million, the USDA data show.

"I don't know of any farmers who aren't short of money right now," said Tim Bardole, a Rippey farmer who is president of the Iowa Soybean Association board.

1. Socialism at its worse, especially in the heart of red IOWA. Nice to reward such hypocrites

when they bitch at everyone else when they receive socialist payments of some kind. I hope that these farmers remember this, and also, to remember too that they're receiving these payments because of multiple, failed rump efforts to spike up exports, since he alone, decided to curtail exports of food stocks overseas to former customers, in order to somehow force the Chinese to do what? What exactly does rump want the overseas customers to do? And, we are, as consumers, are paying for this farce.
