Subject: Re: MAGA farmers are facing ruin
I guess I would have to know what they mean by MAGA farmers. I know a couple of small farmers, and they use very little hired labor. They farm plots of land: some they own outright, some they lease, some they share-crop (split revenue with landowner) and they are not contiguous. Was a revelation to me, but they are “small farmers.” (Still impressive, buying million dollar combines and paying subscriptions for custom weather forecasts and softwares for fertilization and such. Yet still “small”, by any definition.)

I suspect that most of the illegals are employed by mega corporations, not really “MAGA farmers.” As such the small farmer would be happy to get rid of them, as it would increase costs for their competitors - if not decimate them entirely - and overall raise prices. A good thing if you are a farmer, a bad thing if you are a Trump supporter complaining about, say, the price of eggs.

Anyway, I am struck by the imprecision of the headline, and think the “small MAGA farmer” could get exactly what they voted for. The big guys, who threw in large political contributions, maybe not.
