A hungry man is not a free man. ~ Adlai E. Stevenson
American farmers are the losers in the destruction of USAID and the winnowing of USDA through Trump tariffs. These actions are causing an enlarging tremor in the U.S. agricultural system. American citizens and families, and hungry people across the world will suffer. This is another example of how bottom line transactional leadership by billionaires is utterly dumb to the layers of business relationships, and trust between growers and the government to grow our food for here and abroad. Once the trust is broken, and all the pieces of the system are weakened, it cannot simply be restarted with a ‘Whoops, so sorry.’
