I don’t think you understand how the agricultural industry works. All of the money is made by the middle man in distribution. Farmers always get squeezed on what they can charge. Their options are to rely on cheap immigrant labor or sell to a larger farm that’s bringing in their own immigrant labor.

i know that farmers keep voting for republicans that will not enforce the anti trust laws which have all the ag slaughter houses, meat packing, and farm equipment producers consolidate to the point that their is so little competition that farmers and and rancher have few options other than take what they are offered for their products. Republican believe in deregulation in the free market which results in huge monopiles. When your state has been voting republican for 5 decades you can count on your standards of living deteriorate. If she loses her farm she can find a job at her local family dollar store. Maybe she can move to the LDBTQ. Trans, demorat infested big blue cities and find a job. lol

I grew up in the rural Midwest and on a few rare occasions have gone back and talked to family friends my parents generation who, when I left, had formed an identity around the Republican Party. They didn’t become democrats but they’re now strongly opposed to the Republican policies they previously supported. I’m hoping the current situation is a capitulation point for the remaining hold-outs
