US Senator Tester is a really great man. I am glad he is a Democrat from Montana because he brings a lot with him. He would make a great President. I would remind him about President Teddy Roosevelt. He was not nearly as tall as Senator Tester, he came in at 5 feet, 9 inches and weighed 220 pounds. We did lose him ten years after his presidency at the age of 61. Teddy Roosevelt was loved by the American people. Regardless of whether he is President or not we want Senator Tester around for a long time. So, he can take all that as he wishes.

But, entertain this. Tariffs take a heavy toll on USA agriculture sometime in the near future. Unless land has a dedicated use by some sort of set aside as in NJ Green Acres Program, what do farm families do with the land if they go out of business?

They sell it. But, to who? Developers.

What if Donald Trump doesn’t really care if farmers lose their land? What kind of policies would he care about when it comes to agriculture if he simply does not care about farming, farmers or feeding the world?

I think the USA is in far more trouble with Trump in the White House that it can imagine right now. Trump is very capable of doing the unthinkable.
