DO you think USA farmers deserve a so called Trade War Subsidy

How Much or how would you decide how to distribute this monry fairly amongst all farners

JBS got a huge subsidy. Packer concentration has led to contract feeding and now foreigners that have bought US based packing operations are now getting subsidized. It's pathetic.

Yeah, I’m not sure. The administration said they would buy pork, seems like that’s what they are doing.


But yes, foreign ownership of US agriculture is concerning. I see they didn’t buy from Smithfield.

Grassley noticed and something was done. But there seemed to be an "obligation" to the boys from Brazil. Hmmm...
