US ranchers oppose Trump's plan to import more Argentine beef and experts doubt it will lower prices President Donald Trump’s plan to cut record beef prices by importing more meat from Argentina is running into heated opposition from U.S. ranchers who are enjoying some rare profitable years and skept...

What the article fails to note is that it’s about #bailouts for #billionaires. The #Republicans know that they can do whatever they want and #ruralvoters will never turn on them. Not like ranchers are gonna vote #Democrat.

Coke's shift to cane sugar would be expensive, hurt US farmers A possible move by Coca-Cola , and other beverage and food industries, to use cane sugar instead of corn syrup as a sweetener would be difficult and expensive to implement, while mostly negative for farmers in the United States.

“"… The resulting economic shockwave would lead to rural job losses and significant economic consequences to communities across the country," CRA said.”

‘Catastrophic’: Rural public media stations brace for GOP cuts NPR and PBS member stations with smaller budgets will struggle to stay on the air if Congress nixes current funding, public media executives warn.

‘Catastrophic’: Rural public media stations brace for GOP cuts NPR and PBS member stations with smaller budgets will struggle to stay on the air if Congress nixes current funding, public media executives warn.

“… about 45 percent of public radio and TV stations it provided grants to in 2023 are in rural areas. Nearly half of those rural stations relied on CPB funding for 25 percent or more of their revenue.”

Opinion: Trump's Second Term Is Already Devastating Many of His Most Loyal Supporters (The Daily Beast) Donald Trumphas always divided the world into friends and enemies. In the first category are those who support him, pra...

"One group of incredibly loyal Trump supporters has been shown the back of his hand in the first 100 days of his second term: #ruralvoters... are not homogeneous (a quarter of them are non-white), but have been collectively the core of Trump's base since 2016." #FAFO l.smartnews.com/p-kGeM3pe/On...

Oklahoma's SB 1027 claims to help rural voters, but the math doesn't add up. Rural voters already have equal say when initiatives reach the ballot. These new rules just make ALL initiatives harder to qualify. #OklahomaInitiatives #RuralVoters

North Dakota went big for Trump. Now many farmers say they face an uncertain future In North Dakota, many farmers are still recovering from the 2018 trade war and are now bracing for more losses as President Trump levies sweeping tariffs on everything from soybeans to pork.

In #ND, the reality of the #Trump restoration is biting.

Trump and #Musk don't care about #farmers and #RuralVoters as long as they get a tax cut hidden behind the supposed virtue of #tariffs

File this one under #billionaires in action
