@coolcalmcollected@mastodon.social @inthehands@hachyderm.io Take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm certainly no farmer and defer to Sarah's expertise.
There is a reason farm bankruptcies are on the rise, and this situation just went from bad to worse for many that were on the edge previously.
In a lot of cases, they are getting everything they voted for and nothing they actually wanted. Because SURPRISE, we are all connected and NOW they are in the Finding Out stage
