I’m sorry John but I couldn’t disagree more. Someone coming from the ag world will be a status quo pick. Crop insurance are killing farmers, driving them to suicide by trapping them in a debt cycle that removes them from the title of their land. There is NO justification for the USG to subsidize #2 corn when we can no longer compete on the international market (our machinery, debt and capital costs are too high). The subsidies program is a zombie program just designed to give profits to Monsanto, John Deere and Cargill.

IMO we are in for Trump term #1 on repeat. Trump is DUMB! If you listen to him talk long form he only talks about his accomplishments and the personal characteristics of world leaders. The dude has no idea how policy works and his IQ is barely pushing north of 100. The guy doesn’t have the mental horsepower to understand.

We have all been betrayed and there will be no PRIME Act. There is no such thing as a “Goldilocks” pick. It doesn’t matter, we were always already screwed.

I fear you are correct but that just makes me fight harder. You write "The subsidies program is a zombie program just designed to give profits to Monsanto, John Deere and Cargill." Exactly true, and they want to make that a global model to enslave all of humanity. I must work with what we have, and Trump is irrelevant to USDA if he simply allows the right people in. I believe Brooke will lead people to make real change -- if she doesn't, you are right and we are lost. But I think it will all begin to shift very soon through inflation. If Trump stands up to the globalists I don't care if he has an IQ of 10. But he WILL stand against the globalists, or no one will. There are more people than just Brooke going to USDA, if we are to make a difference.
