Alfalfa hay is mainly used as feed for cattle and is big business in Arizona, with Arizona farms exporting over $100 million of alfalfa overseas a year.

    He will, because HitlerPig will bail him out.

      I honestly don’t think they will get help this time. JD Vance is invested in AcreTrader and what’s a better way to buy thousand’s of acres for pennies on the dollar than to bankrupt farmers? And at the end of the day, I really don’t think they deserve a bailout.

        I agree with you 100%, but HitlerPig did bailouts the last time around, and it kept the famrers on his side, so he’ll do it again. Nothing like paying people off to keep their loyalty. In fact, it worked so well last time, that he may be engineering the same scenario this time, just so he can pay them off again, and remind them of it before the next election.

        Oh, who am I kidding? There won’t be another election.

          It already happened.

          ECAP will help agricultural producers mitigate the impacts of increased input costs and falling commodity prices.

            I’m calling it now, that aid package does not have Trump’s approval, he will not sign off on it, or find a way to slap it down.
