Extremely unlikely - the vast majority of production is consumed in the US and farmers are 1) pretty adapt at adjusting to the next highest value for their land 2) Most farmers are commercial owned by large MNCs now 3) The tariffs we are adding are going to hurt these other countries far, far, far more than it hurts us and they are likely to blink first. When they remove their tariffs and trade barriers - and they will - Farmers and all US manufacturers will get a huge boost. You have to remember - EVERY country in the world practices protectionism vs the US.

In the early 1900s and going back to our founding, tariffs paid the bills in DC. Why is only 1% of our tax revenue tariffs today?

Corporate conglomerate farms NEVER go broke.

Over the last 40 years I never saw the WSJ lament the closing of one US factory. NOT ONCE!

Very likely result.

And we’ve owned/operated farms in this county since 1889.

Am not asleep about the issues.
