A well thought out plan.

Farmers are very smart businesspersons. I first saw this a couple of days ago and waited to hear how it was photoshopped or something. Evidently, it is for real.

“It’s cost a lot of money,” he says. “I’ve paid check-off money — tens of thousands of dollars for forty years. A big share of that money goes to trade missions: Setting up trade relationships, inviting trading partners over here to see our product. Trump got into office and he flushed that all down the toilet in two months.”...
