A once-in-a-generation economic crisis in rural America means this year could be the last one for many farmers as Trump-Xi call offers no relief​

Two-thirds of farmers said they are more concerned about their financial situation compared to a year ago

The 40th Farm Aid benefit concert is being held on Saturday as the economic outlook for rural America is the gloomiest it’s been in decades.

A survey released by the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) on Wednesday showed that 46% believe the U.S. is on the brink of a farm crisis, and another 33% said maybe.

Meanwhile, about two-thirds said they are more concerned about their financial situation compared to a year ago, with 58% postponing equipment purchases, 38% reducing fertilizer applications and 22% looking for more off-farm income.

“These findings point to a once-in-a-generation problem for the agricultural economy,” said NCGA Chief Economist Krista Swanson said in a statement. “The survey findings suggest that this crisis could have a long reach, affecting every area of the economy, as farmers are less likely to make purchases and will certainly make budget cuts that could affect their local communities.”
 
More lies from the always-lying left.

The actual US AG data:

U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service. (2025, September 3). Farm sector income & finances: Farm sector income forecast.

Net farm income, a broad measure of profits, is forecast to increase in 2025. Forecast at $179.8 billion for 2025, net farm income would be $52.0 billion (40.7 percent) higher than in 2024. Net cash farm income is forecast at $180.7 billion for 2025, an increase of $40.1 billion (28.5 percent) relative to 2024 (not adjusted for inflation).

In inflation-adjusted 2025 dollars, net farm income is forecast to increase by $48.8 billion (37.2 percent) from 2024 to 2025, and net cash farm income is forecast to increase by $36.5 billion (25.3 percent) compared with the previous year. If realized, both measures in 2025 would be above their 2005–24 averages (in inflation-adjusted dollars).









Makeup some more bullshit.

Again if this was true why are so many farmers in the US talking about having to go bankrupt because of Trump's tariffs and the way he is handling the economy?

At this point, I wouldn’t trust much of the data DonOld’s administration puts out. They are discontinuing a lot of economic reports because they aren’t good.

Your entire article talks about forecasts, which are estimates of the future.

It's not addressing what is happening right now.

No one is surprised that the Trump Department of Agriculture would issue a highly optimistic press release with estimates that look towards the future with rose colored glasses.

Grok's article also points out in the fine print that government handouts of taxpayer money to farmers (welfare) is going up by 30 billion dollars in 2025, while profits from crop production will go down.

Trump won't care. He will just blame Biden and move on to filling his pockets and distracting people away from the Epstein Files. :(

All MAGAts are evil and often hide behind a mask of Christianity.
