And very little of it will go to actual food producers.
Livestock guys aren't included.
John Deere posted a thank you note already for the welfare check.
Are you trying to be dumb? Illness, divorce, death in the family, met someone and wants to move are all typical reasons.
But that's not everyone. Lol.

the current situation, elevated inflation due to tariffs and a softening labor market, creates a tension where the Fed's single tool (interest rates) cannot perfectly address both problems simultaneously
It’s really tariffs that’s causing most of the inflation overshoot. And we do think of those as likely, in the current situation, as likely to be a onetime price increase. Our job is to make sure that it is.

crooked as , but also politically dumb
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/1...trade-00689892“It would be, I think, a political mistake to seek to deny refunds if the Supreme Court found that there was no basis to begin with to impose the tariffs,” said Alan Wolff, a former deputy director-general of the World Trade Organization and former U.S. trade official. “The idea that the government could act without legal authority and provide no remedy is not going to be acceptable.”
"standing in a 12 foot hole"
Meanwhile everyone of those farmers are throwing another $40/acre on land prices trying to rent more.
farmers are doing just fine, is your take?
lol "Garnett>Duncan"
"we're doing just fine"
(hats extended for $12 billion in emergency government subsidies)

Sounds interesting. Do you have a link where I can read more on this?

...
Texas International Enterprises, a cross-border carrier based in Laredo, Texas, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and laid off 600 drivers. It’s one more sign of serious strain in a sector that many truckers say is collapsing under financial pressure.
According to a bankruptcy filing in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, the company reported between $10 million and $50 million in assets and liabilities. It also said more than 200 creditors are affected and that after administrative costs, there won’t be any money left for unsecured creditors.
The company, which operates 280 power units and 1,500 trailers, had an active status with the U.S. Department of Transportation and logged over 39 million miles in 2024.
But by this month, it joined the growing list of carriers shutting down amid falling freight rates, high costs, and slow demand.

Shares of Chinese chipmaker MetaX Integrated Circuits soared nearly 700% in their market debut in Shanghai on Wednesday, after the company raised nearly $600 million in its initial public offering.
Shares, which were priced at 104.66 yuan in the IPO, closed at 829 yuan on debut, marking a 692% jump.
Similar to Moore Threads, which saw a robust debut at the start of the month, MetaX develops graphics processing units for artificial intelligence applications, tapping into a fast-growing sector driven by rising adoption of AI services.
MetaX is part of a growing cohort of local chipmakers building AI processors, reflecting Beijing’s push to reduce dependence on U.S. chips following Washington’s tech curbs on export of high-end technology to China.

I can find you a link stating a pro or con of any discussion. If you don't want to listen to boots on the ground info about what rent bids are you could be perusing auction data on them, calling real estate guys, sorting through data etc.
Sounds like you aren't familiar that all subsidies work their way back to the land.
I'm saying it's all going back into the land prices. Inflation is the killer here. Grain prices aren't historically bad. Most of the welfare money ag received this past year and still will next year is the Biden doing, before tariffs took place. The $12b is the first Trump 2.0 era doing.
Do you want to hear that the sky is falling instead? I've committed to probably $750k on expansion/infrastructure/upgrading the past 3 months. Not sure why I would be doing that if it's that bad. I hope it gets worse so there's more opportunity for me. No other industry props up the worst operator's like ag, all backstopped by the govt. What prices do you feel are needed for minimal govt. involvement in ag?
You're going to lose your when you realize every senator pushes for pork barrel spending for their cons uents.
So that's a no.
No links. Ok.
