A lot of losers back Trump because the man they elected won and they consider that their personal win. They are not about to forfeit a rare win, even if they are punished for having won a booby prize.

We don’t grow food by hope alone—but by sweat, resilience, and belief. Today, our farming work at Young Environmental Conservation Initiative is at risk. Without land, there is no planting, no harvest, no hope for those who depend on us. We urgently need €94 to re-rent land and continue this season. Stand with us—your support today keeps this work alive.

‘The last thing we needed’: US farmers hit by spiralling prices due to Iran war

Conflict has hit fertiliser costs in an agricultural sector already reeling from Trump’s trade war

Financial Times

If we all had to live off our land, the crop specialists we call "farmers" would be dead by autumn, the gardeners would need more potatoes, the homesteaders would wish they had grown feed for their animals, the permaculturalists would be teaching the rest of them how to eat, and the agroecological farmers would be wondering what the big deal is.

#Trump abruptly cancels Kushner-Witkoff Pakistan trip - Because, hell no…the Iranians are not going to talk to low lever amateurs who last June were conducting so-called negotiations when the US and #Israel attacked in the middle of talks. Back to square one folks. My worry is that a frustrated, humiliated and impatient Trump will unleash the Israeli hounds of hell; or worse, resort to tactical nukes. It is safe to say the #IranWar is not going according to plan for the #TrumpRegime. It is American #farmers #Truckers and consumers as well as the #GlobalEconomy that will take the hit. https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/25/trump-abruptly-cancels-kushner-witkoff-pakistan-trip-00892033

Perhaps this blow will encourage the #farming community to rethink their support for the #TrumpRegime. #Agriculture #farms https://www.producer.com/crops/fertilizer-supply-crisis-deepens/
