King wasn’t alone. Hundreds of Arkansas farmers packed the meeting, all carrying the same urgent plea for emergency funding. Their warning was stark: without immediate help, American agriculture faces its worst crisis in a generation.
"You are going to lose 25 to 30% of the farmers in this country if they don’t do something," said Scott Brown, who works 800 acres in Biggers. "In the short term, they have no choice but to mail us a check."
Tariffs: the final straw
For some, tariffs are what tipped them over the edge. “Tariffs are the ice cream on the cake of a perfect storm,” Brown said.
Without tariffs, U.S. soybeans shipped to China would undercut Brazil’s prices. With them, American crops can’t compete. |
