Standing up for Farmers

Farmers want a market, Not a bailout. Unchecked tarriffs have led to the largest decline of trade between world wide trade partners that have disrupted world markets. A 12 billion dollar bailout is only a fraction of the valuation of lost trade due to markets leaving and now working with other countries.12 billion dollars hardly makes up what was lost and does not guarantee markets will return
