I wonder if Scott Bessent will be able to weather the hardships? /s

He's just another good old boy soybean farmer as he keeps telling us.

The "Bessent soybean farm" refers to the North Dakota farmland owned by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, which he recently divested from to comply with ethics rules as he leads trade discussions involving agricultural tariffs with China, a major soybean market. Bessent had previously identified himself as a soybean farmer and faced scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest, leading to the sale of his large holdings just before a new farm aid package announcement.

Bessent's divestiture occurred just before a planned White House announcement for a $12 billion farm aid package.


Scott Bessent's net worth was reported at at least $521 million as of late 2024, with speculation placing it closer to $600 million.
