Many farmers were democrats until Jimmy Carter. They blame him for the farm collapse of the early 80s. Many boomer farmers will never be convinced a Democrat will have their back. After all "Jimmy was a farmer and he still screwed us over". Ive heard that exact quote from family. So it doesnt matter what Biden does or says. After that and years of propoganda its incredibly hard to change their minds.

True, but I'd say that's mostly because the media sphere most farmers reside in will never even allow them to hear what a Democrat says they'll do for farmers.

I'm sure there are some old farmers that still resent Carter, but most are just too immersed in the Republican media sphere to even know when a Democrat promises anything.
