Summary
Trump has frozen billions in federal agricultural funds linked to Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, leaving farmers struggling ahead of the spring season.
Many had planned investments in irrigation, fencing, and conservation projects, now at risk. Small farms, already financially vulnerable, are particularly hard-hit.
While the USDA released $20 million, farmers say it’s insufficient. Some are taking loans to cover gaps, while advocacy groups warn of canceled contracts and business disruptions.
The administration defends the freeze, citing concerns over non-agriculture spending, but has not provided a timeline for further releases.
Why not airplanes with billionaires?
They don’t fly commercial of course, they can afford to maintain their personal planes because of the safety risks, commercial airlines can’t afford that cost because there are too many empty pockets at the executive level.
I do know airlines are expensive to operate but it’s basically a high tech bus service and you have no service without the bus
