ROFLMAO... I guess you didn't actually read the articles since they not only quote individual farmers, they quote the leaders of several farmer organizations which do speak for farmers in general.

Hell, my IRA is worth more than the difference in the US balance of trade with N. Korea...
White House explains why Russia not included in Trump's new tariffs
Trump is calling his tariff policy "kind reciprocal," saying he could've been much harsher on US trading partners.www.newsweek.com
Russia isn't on the list.
Belarus, Cuba and North Korea, other countries that face US sanctions, also weren't hit with reciprocal tariffs.
Russia, Cuba North Korea.
Yeah, because they’re already sanctioned.
So?
Yeah and everyone's IRA is worth more than the difference in US balance of trade with the Heard and McDonald islands. And yet Trump put imposed a tariff on the uninhabited island.
China was already sanctioned but Trump put more tariff on China.
I guess Trump just loves him some Putin more than he loves the US.
Not to mention that trade between countries such as Russia, Cuba, Belarus and North Korea is already highly restricted.
Just more dishonest blather from the board Stalinists.

No they don't (same as union bosses don't speak for union members), and so? A few individual farmers and a few farmer organization leaders is not representative of farmers in general.

Poor Richard Saunders... You know this, or are you going to play the AProudLefty game?
We import less than 4 billion from Russia less than 500 Million from Belarus and less than 4 Billion from Cuba And ZERO from North Korea BIG DEAL.
That is quite the goal post move there. You have gone from name a single farmer to name someone that speaks for farmers to your final goal post move of no one can speak for farmers.
You seem to be grasping at straws. If Biden had done this the right would be screaming it proved he had dementia. When Trump does it, you simply try to justify it with ridiculous arguments that end up being factually false.

Nothing has been moved (and I never said "name someone that speaks for farmers", and I especially didn't say "no one can speak for farmers"); you just can't follow along with a conversation.
For the longest time, people kept referencing "farmers", then "farmers in NC & FL", without ever specifying which farmers they were discussing. You finally provided a few individual farmers.
However, a few (likely leftist-cherry-picked) individual farmers do not speak for farmers in general.
That's where the conversation is currently at.
A clear movement of goal posts on your part.
You went from "which farmers?" to individual farmers don't speak for farmers in general to leaders of farm organizations don't speak for farmers in general to individual farmers and farm organization leaders are not representative of farmers.
Not only have you moved the goal posts your final ask is not based on any facts but a flawed assumption on your part. A few individual farmers may or may not represent farmers in general. It is now incumbent upon you to show us how those farmers are not representative of farmers in general.
