Daniel Weinand worries the market downturn could be the death knell for his farm. Weinand, 30, grows corn, canola and yellow peas on 900 acres of rented land near Hazen, North Dakota. He said he expects to reap about 30,000 bushels of corn, and to receive about $300 in aid.
"A penny a bushel on corn, it's not that it's entirely worthless. But it almost is," he said. "I don't know how many more years I can weather."
You read that right. This farmer will get one cent in aid per bushel of corn harvested from the con artist as a result of the con artist's tariffs. He's not the only one suffering because of the con artist's incompetence.
Jack Maloney says corn farmers will be getting so little in bailout aid that for roughly 200,000 bushels of corn a farmer would get only about $2,000 for their losses.
"That's not even beer money," said the Brownsburg, Indiana, corn and soybean grower.
How bad are the con artist's tariffs punishing farmers?
Joel Schreurs had this to say about how badly he's getting screwed.
"It's pretty obvious that the rural agriculture communities helped elect this administration, but the way things are going I believe farmers are going to have to vote with their checkbook when it comes time," said Kevin Skunes, a corn and soybean grower from Arthur, North Dakota and president of the National Corn Growers Association.
"If these issues haven't been resolved, there could be a change in the way farmers vote," Skunes said. "A person has to consider all things."
So much winning.

China typically makes its requests for American wheat between March and June. U.S. wheat farmers have sold, on average, 20 million bushels of wheat to China over the past three years. But none came this year, [Chandler] Goule said, as Trump escalated his threatening rhetoric on trade with Beijing. He hopes the per-bushel rate for wheat goes up if there's a second round of payments.
"I am very certain that we will not sell any wheat to China this year," Goule said. "The window we sell in has come and gone."

His personal operation is about 1,000 acres. He farms an additional 500 acres with his son-in-law and other relatives. He estimates that the tariffs would cost him $40,000 to $50,000 in lost income and that he would get $16,000 to $20,000 in emergency aid.
