The Trump administration has started compensating U.S. farmers for damage tariffs are doing to their business.
Many farmers say the payments won’t make up for lost sales to China and other foreign markets they were counting on to buy the huge amounts of crops and meat being producedacross the Farm Belt. WSJ
You ever plant a tariff, seen it grow into some food?
Or watch it lay a bunch of eggs and look after its brood?
Will tariffs give you milk and cheese or bacon in the pan?
Grind it all you want, but it won't even give you bran.
Yet government keeps pushing tariffs as a great big blessing;
I'd like to see the President try eating one with dressing.
Our barns and silos are so full that they're about to burst --
but damned if we will plant next year while feeling so coerced!
