Eric Darnley SmallThe Trump administration announced a $12 billion aid package to help U.S. farmers cope with economic losses caused by tariffs and market disruptions, with payments expected by the end of February. President Trump emphasized the relief as a way to share tariff revenue with farmers, expressing support for the agricultural sector. However, critics like John Boyd of the National Black Farmers Association argue that the aid largely benefits large-scale white farmers and excludes many Black farmers due to long-standing institutional barriers, mistrust, and reporting issues. Boyd, representing 150,000 Black farmers, noted that systemic discrimination has prevented many Black farmers from accessing the aid, raising concerns about equity and targeted support for marginalized farmers. Will this relief address the broader needs of all farmers?

6 October 1932, a "penny auction" took place in Nebraska during the great depression, in possibly the first use of this tactic devised by poor farmers. Across the midwest, many poor farmers were being kicked off their land by foreclosures. Local residents and radicals organised militant self defence to stop foreclosed farms from being auctioned off by bank agents and sheriffs.
