Economy Wisconsin Leads the Nation

No, you are missing thepoint. Dems hate farmers. It's the dems who want them bankrupt.

It's always the dems
 
A wise man once said:

You never potato a farmer while you've got hay in the barn.
 
farming in the artic circle is a tough business
 
Interesting, I though this was going to be yet another cheese curd thread.
 
I thought it was going to be about drunk driving

I enjoyed my time living in WI. Great people. But damn would it anger me seeing in thr local news that some guy hit and killed someone with 14 duis on his record. They gotta fix that shit.

Dems say trump can't take cred for the economy or unemployment rate. That's because of Obama.

But farms going bankrupt? That's on trump

Not a good look for a state that flipped red last presidential election. Add in Case New Holland as a major employer and a lagging midwest state could get worse.

This has been happening to dairy farmers for well over two decades.

It’s our trade dealS with Canada that sealed their fate.

Trump is actually trying to do something about it.

Beat me to it. This sums it up perfectly.
 
Problem is that China needs to be confronted for a variety of things. Previous Presidents just ignored it, were too soft and or kicked the ball down the line. If we don't tackle their intellectual theft and trade practices it only prolongs the problem. The hard decision had to made to do something about it. Best thing Trump can do is have the Fed. gov. financially help all farmers taking a hit from the China trade war.

Sadly I think Minnesota has them beat. We just had three guys arrested in my town last night for DWI, and two of them were double hits due to the BAC. Last I checked 1 in 7 in MN had DWIs, and only 50% of DWI arrests every year are for a first offense.

herro Happy Man,

milk prices were pretty excellent back in 2014, but since then its been sad times for the dairy industry.

the deal that sealed milk's fate doesn't have alot to do with Canada, though. its just that Americans are consuming less dairy, and children are drinking less milk (there are so many choices now, like soy, almond and coconut "milks").

farmers in Wisconsin also just overproduced. the market was glutted.

and on top of all of that, you've got China responding to the trade war by levying their own tariffs on US dairy products.

so, its a confluence of several dynamics that have lowered the price of milk to the point where staying in the dairy business is going to be untenable for many small US farmers.

*muses*

i think i read that there are basically the same amount of cows being used to produce dairy products in the state, its just that there are less farmers partaking in the activity. its the big, industrialized farms that have managed to survive.

hopefully those out-of-work farmers can pick up some new skills and become coders, or perhaps move to an area where jobs are more bountiful...or maybe the US government could provide them with more welfare.

i don't really blame the POTUS for this, though his trade war isn't helping matters much (of course its worth it in the long run, since China will collapse and Xi will ultimately surrender to Mr. Trump's trade demands down the road, leading to a brighter and more prosperous future for US agribusiness).
