Whenever we see such smiling faces, we feel so much proud that our efforts towards empowering young #farmers have led to something great. We still have the capacity to do more if we work #together. https://gofund.me/3f38fe9d0

Today has been an amazing day as we toured the #vegetable #gardens of one of the local #farmers. This made us so courageous towards facing our future because the impact we make can't be ignored.

"Republican lawmakers are finally reading the room, and for once, the writing on the wall isn’t spelled M-A-G-A. The economy is shrinking, the tariffs are hitting red states the hardest, and millions of Americans—the same ones Trump promised to uplift—are watching their grocery bills rise while their SNAP benefits are slashed."

"Farmers in Iowa, manufacturers in Michigan, and truckers in Texas aren’t getting richer off these trade wars; they’re getting crushed. …

the migration has begun. Slowly, quietly, and maybe even too late. But it’s happening. And when it’s over, the GOP will look up, dazed and confused, wondering how the man they built their empire around ended up standing alone in the dust."

Regardless of White House policy, farmers can benefit from solar panels on their land.

If The White House Won't Save US Farmers, Agrivoltaics Will

With agrivoltaic solar arrays, farmers can keep their land in production and preserve it from real estate development.

3. In recent years:

The emergence of hydroponics in eastern Gaza and Rafah to reduce water consumption.

Support projects from international organizations (FAO, UNDP) to rehabilitate cultivated land and establish new wells.

Improvement of drip irrigation methods and use of solar
energy to operate wells.

Preparations are underway to plant strawberries in the)
northern regions, specifically in a yellow zone that was confiscated by the Israeli army.)

"While women are being forced out of the workforce, children are going hungry, and people are being rounded up by ICE in warrantless raids, white male pain continues to be a Page 1 story. Farmers and ranchers make up less than 2 percent of the total population in America, but they dominate our cultural and political mythology."

"He responded that he didn’t regret his vote, because his vote was about more than his farm or tariffs; it was about God, guns, and abortion. In sum, he’d take the hit because there were bigger issues at stake.

That conversation is part of my first book, God Land, published in 2019. But I think about it often, because it highlights so many of the problems with political reporting. It’s not about the policies; it’s about the priorities."

"This week, the New York Times ran an image of a farmer on the front page. ...

The story is about how Trump’s tariff policies are affecting the very farmers in Iowa who voted for him. ...

In 2017, I asked a farmer how he felt about voting for Trump, even though Republican policies were hurting his business."

"When all is said and done, the White House hopes to provide $40 billion in rescue money for Argentina. …

Trump’s economic 'policy' has no real philosophy—it just involves throwing money at people he wants to help and tariffs at people he decides to punish. There’s no other rhyme or reason to it, and now even MAGA is starting to notice."

"[Farmers] see that Donald Trump has to make a choice. And his choice is either: Is he going to screw over his billionaire friends in Argentina, or is he going to screw over the farmer? And he’s picking the billionaire."

The New Republic

Trump Is Screwing His Voters So Badly That It Shocked This MAGA Farmer

As Trump’s bizarre idea to control soaring prices backfires with farmers, a Democratic organizer in rural areas explains how badly Trump is hammering his own supporters—and why it gives Democrats an opening.
