    Jimbo11 is educating the far right here, which is good. Which is better is that Trump is down by double digits to a generic opponent in the election next year.

    You are the one who is wrong. ConAgra owns companies that own and operate farms. ExamplecWatts Bros which produces lamb and they own, lease, or otherwise control 22,000 acres of production. ConAgra us a processor yes but it also has contracts with mega sized farms and many contracts are with farms to give ConAgra exclusive sources of produce. These farms who have these contracts are indeed ConAgra sized farms.
    They in all practical terms control the farms with the contracts to ensure the volume of raw product they need. The result is the same in that farms even if owned by the McDoland family they need to be big assed to feed a large corporate beast such as ConAgra.

    It is like socialism in that a government can control large classes of industry - business with restrictive and constrictive laws. It can control what they plant, what they oroducecand how much they can sell it form. You know like a boa constrictor. BOA - Business Occupied America.

    Never such such, qualified my question with a maybe. That said, not sure just leaving the industry to current events will cure it either. These tariffs were certainly not to their liking. There are Congressmen that were in favor of the ethanol policy.

    Trump will be reelected, because there is no way American will vote for far left radicals.

    Your idea of 'far left radicals' in fact is non existent. Real America now fear Trump far more than far right fancies.

    Biden isn't even left, he's moderate, and at this point he's probably the candidate.

    Going by what you think is far left radical you yourself must be about 3 degrees past Genghis Khan, Caligula MIGHT be able to deal with immigrants to your satisfaction.
    Trump is SCARING people, and that is the one thing that can make people take their eyes off the 401k, and Trump is going to do LOTS of really scary things in the campaign, believe me

    It will be President Biden by 2021

    Ahh forgot about Watt's brothers and yes Watts Brothers is a food producer that owns land so theoretically they own 20,000 acres and believe they do organic on them, it's a tiny blimp on their 8 billion in sales. I assure the subsidy and tax break on that 20,000 acres barely has a line item on their balance sheet if it even does. They also buy from all sizes of farmers some larger than 20,000 acres and some 350 acre farmers, I've done some sustainability work with them. They buy from thousands and thousands of Farmers and they aren't all some mega farms that took all the government bailouts and put small farms out like you said. You also claimed they were one crop mega farms, what you fail to realize is that grains require rotation crops to ensure health of the soil. Rice rotates with Beans and corn. Cotton loves peanuts and will also rotate with beans etc. All conagra does is the same as market does, they buy grain contracts.

    Tariffs are not to their liking and neither is allowing China to manipulate the commodity prices like they've been doing the past decade, it's bad business to rely on China. Farmers want a deal done but not on China's terms. They want to stop with the nutty irrigation regulations too, they also would rather eliminate subsidy's and get fair prices in America. Bottom line farmers will vote for Trump because at heart they are conservative.

    Even though I am not a farmer my family was in Europe and that is what got my maternal grandfather sent to Siberia. I am aware of crop rotation. I even practiced it when I had a huge garden.
    So are you saying that no one practices one crop growing? I have heard that it is practiced by some percent of farmers. Not being a farmer or not living in major farm country I would have no reason to not believe that there are some percent of farmers who do practice one crop farming.

    Yeh, some of us still find it disturbing that our President stole the Highest Office in the land and became the most powerful man that has ever lived through a treacherous plot with a hostile foreign power and is about to do it again with help from his Lickspittle Legion of traitorous toadies. Silly us, this turncoat betrayed the nation that thousands of our ancestors died for and is still endangering our freedom and possibly our very lives, but we should be like you and just get over it; it's no biggie if we get to bash some brown people, right?

    Oh he's such an "evil" man, blah blah blah. We've heard all this **** before, you don't like Trump, because he's not part of the establishment. "outsiders" should be allowed to run for president, get over it.

    Americans don't like far left radicals like Cenk Unger and Ana Kasparian. Those two want this country to be like the USSR. Their show is called The Young Turks, I call them them The Young Turds. An example would be Andrew Gillium who ran for the governor of Florida, democrats could've won that race if they didn't run a far leftist in the state of Florida. Gwen Graham was the better candidate, because she was moderate and fit the state. But no progressives had to vote for a black thug who only liked blacks and not anyone else in Florida.

    Trump, indeed, is in Putin's pocket, and it is amazing that we have American citizens defending the relationship.

    The Democrats will not Nominate someone who is advocated taking away private health insurance.

    But trump has gotten away with allowing a foreign adversary help his campaign once. I expect him to desperately seek more foreign support.
