USA - President Trump just announced yet another round of emergency bailouts for US farmers. This emergency aid will be greatly welcomed by countless struggling farmers, but a few thousand dollars won’t be nearly enough to save most of the farms that are on the verge of failing. Coming into 2019, farm debt was already at a record high and farm bankruptcies were already rising. But then crazy weather patterns made planting season a complete and utter mess, and more crazy weather patterns have turned harvest season into a major disaster. On top of everything else, the Trump administration’s trade dispute with China has greatly reduced US agricultural exports and hurt prices. This has been an absolutely nightmarish year for US farmers, and a series of government bailouts hasn’t done much to ease the pain… all of the information that we have right now seems to indicate that “Farmageddon” is going to get a whole lot worse.
