So #trump just reverses the screwed up decisions he made and wants to take a victory lap for it --- and I'm sure #MAGA morons will praise him but the damage is done.

US Tourism this year will be down over $60 BILLION, China has made deals with Brazil for food they used to buy from US #Farmers, Canadian markets are gone for US companies and none of this is coming back

So much #winning... so much

Trump: I'll put tariffs on the world, tank the US economy and then take them off and take credit for the stock market rise. My followers are too stupid to realize.

I just heard the #US President of #Soybean #Farmers say:
'iit is necessary to 'rectify' the 'situation' with #China since it is our biggest customer'
Don't these people get informed ?
China has already signed new deals and supply routes with other states regarding soybeans
#Trump has made you lose the China 'customer'
Or you find new costumers or grow something else or change profession.
(remember to thank Trump, you voted for this shit).

“At least 3 times a day you need a farmer.”— Axel Karambizi

#FarmersMarket #FarmersFirst

Truth is that without #Bees, #Pollinators, and #Farmers, modern day people would starve.

When you grab a plate of rice and beans at lunch. When you sit down for supper with your family— A farmer made that possible. We don’t say it enough. We don’t celebrate it enough. But the truth is, every bite you take is agriculture in action. Food doesn’t just appear in shops and markets. It comes from someone who braved the sun. Who trusted the rain. Who tilled the land. Who planted the seed and waited patiently for harvest. And most of the time? That someone is an African farmer. Africa holds 65% of the world’s uncultivated arable land, millions of passionate youth, and centuries of traditional agricultural knowledge. And yet… Farming is too often seen as the last resort. Something for the rural poor. Something outdated. But here’s the reality: Agriculture is innovation. It’s technology. It’s business. It’s climate action. It’s how we feed nations, power economies, and protect our planet. From drones mapping maize fields in Kenya, to youth-led cooperatives growing vegetables in Rwanda, to mobile apps connecting farmers to markets in Nigeria— this is the new face of African agriculture. And every single person—whether you live in a village or a city— needs a farmer. Not once. Not twice. But at least three times a day. The question isn’t whether we need farmers. The question is: Are we supporting them enough? Are we training the next generation? Are we investing in infrastructure, access to finance, and digital tools? Are we creating markets that value farmers' work? Because farmers don’t just grow crops. They grow communities. They grow futures. They grow peace. The youth of Africa are rising. They're not waiting for opportunities—they’re creating them. They're entering the agriculture space not just with hoes, but with hacks, hardware, and hope. And they’re asking the world to see farming for what it truly is: A profession of purpose. A path to prosperity. A solution to some of the biggest challenges of our time. So the next time you eat—remember: That plate began with a farmer. And more often than not, it began with an African farmer. It’s time we place them where they belong— At the center of every development agenda. At the heart of Africa’s future. Because three times a day, every day, you rely on a farmer. And now, the farmer is ready to rise.

“Defined generally by #Fairtrade as ‘the price a typical #farmer household with a viable #farm size and a #sustainable productivity level needs in order to earn a #livingincome from the sales of their crop,’ LIRPs are broadly viewed as a price-discovery tool for companies seeking more #sustainable or #ethical supply chains”
“the green #coffee market remains characterized by volatility, with smallholder #farmers generally more vulnerable to price-related risks” dailycoffeenews.com/2025/05/07

Western alienation is real, and is to a great degree justified. Note: I'm not a separatist or anything, I'm not partisan (no Canadian party represents my views), I just live in the prairies and have a front-seat view.

The issues that cause this #alienation are longstanding. This didn't just arise because of Trudeau, or even just because of the last generation of governments. It goes back further than that. The west sees many reasons to believe (rightly or wrongly) that they get short shrift from the federal #government.

One recent example: Ottawa saw a threat to Canadian auto workers (southern Ontario only, natch) in desirable Chinese electric vehicles that have taken much of the world by storm. So Ottawa slapped a 100% #tariff on Chinese electric vehicles. It's not only the US that can play stupid games.

The #stupid prize they won is a 100% #tariff by China on the import of Canadian canola oil and #canola meal. This is a hugely important cash crop all across the prairies, and China represented farmers' biggest #market. This tariff has decimated that income. Farmers are hurting because of it, and the prairie provinces' economies are still significantly tied to #agriculture.

Ottawa basically doesn't care. Have to protect Ontario jobs. Eastern farmers aren't affected. Why do anything to help prairie #farmers and provinces?

Note this is just one example. There are many, in all areas of society, politics, and economics.
