There were century family farms lost..

The corporate farms got money from a rescue once they realized the damage done.. but once you lose your customers.. you don't get them back when the President has a sudden change of mind.

He just does not seem to understand farming or industry.. it is months sometimes years in the planning to get the right crop in the right widget designed.. it is not like selling a property and off you go.. We are so in the deep stuff
