Farmers Being Paid To Destroy Crops

Farmers in the Midwest are being paid to destroy corn. The US government has approved $215 million in disaster aid for farmers in Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Farmers are being encouraged to destroy fields of crop because there is no longer a market for the corn. Some farmers believe that Trump has focused on the relationship with China rather than trade imbalances with Canada, India or Mexico taking place at the same time. They want him to take action against other countries but not just focus on one issue at a time.”

Corn farmers in the Midwest are being paid to destroy crops.

It’s a strange time to be a corn farmer in the Midwest.

In September, farmers across the U.S. were paid to destroy millions of bushels of their crops—and it could happen again soon.

Since the trade war with China began earlier this year, shipments of U.S. soybeans and corn have dropped significantly as China has turned to other sources for its agricultural needs, including Brazil and Argentina; some analysts predict that by 2020, the U.S. will no longer be able to compete with those countries on price or quality alone when it comes to soybeans (which are used mostly for feeding chickens). In response, Trump announced on September 24th that he was ordering up $20 billion worth of aid programs designed specifically for American farmers affected by Chinese tariffs: $14 billion would go toward direct payments while another $6 billion would fund an expansion program through which Department of Agriculture loans would be extended at lower interest rates or deferred entirely until 2021 (previously they had been due by March 1st).

At first glance this seems like good news—farmers get money! But then you realize that these funds aren’t coming from some kind of magical pot hidden away inside someone’s basement; they’re being taken directly out of American taxpayers’ pockets via tax increases and spending cuts elsewhere (in other words: we’re already paying more than we need to) so that Republicans can claim victory over what is essentially an issue manufactured by them in order for them not lose face going into elections next year.”

The aid is intended to help farmers recover from the billions of dollars in losses from flooding and trade disruptions caused by President Donald Trump’s tariffs on imported goods from China. The Trump administration has also pledged up to $12 billion in emergency aid for farmers this year.

The government’s crop insurance program does not cover damage caused by weather events like floods or drought—or trade disruptions such as China’s retaliatory tariffs against U.S. exports—so Congress has appropriated money each year since 2002 to compensate farmers who have been hurt by those kinds of problems.

The U.S. has a trade deficit of about $375 billion with China on an annual basis, but it also has smaller deficits with other countries in Asia, Europe and Latin America that have been hit by his tariffs as well as retaliatory ones from Beijing.

“You can’t ignore what’s happening in every country,” said Tom Vilsack, who served as agriculture secretary under former President Barack Obama and supports free trade deals like NAFTA. “If you’re going to fix this issue with China … then you have got to address everything that contributes to our trade imbalance.”

You don’t always get what you want from government.

It’s fun to dream about what you could do with the money you’d get if your crops were destroyed. You might even think about how nice it would be to give a lot of that money away to charity or family members. However, while there’s no reason not to consider these things, keep in mind that government programs often aren’t as generous as they seem at first glance.

That being said, there are some things you should keep in mind:

• You should beware of exaggerations and false promises when dealing with the government. If something seems too good or too easy, it’s likely that something is wrong.
• You can’t always get what you want from the government; sometimes it’s best just to accept a compromise instead of holding out for more money or resources than are being offered at any given time.

The government has helped the farmers, but there is still a lot of work to do. The farmers are not completely happy with their situation and it may lead some of them to bankruptcy.
