The Democrats need to remind the Midwest that Donald Trump is not backing them up. They need to realize Democrats have been responsible for starting and maintaining programs like the Farm Bill and Conservation Programs that protect their land.
The subsidies Trump issued went to about 1800 farmers, many partners living in the city. The average soybean payment was $8 per bushel when they really needed $10. They also had to wait for any help until after the crops were harvested. Dairy farmers had to beg Perdue to include them.
All in all less than a billion went out in the $8 billion program. There was a lot of paperwork and partners that don’t work the far got a lion share of the payouts.
Democrats need to remind the Midwest who there best friends actually are.
