    Not necessarily Blue, just anti-Trump.

    Farmers in general vote Red, not because they like Republicans anymore than Democrats, but because they get shit on MORE by Democrats.

    Small farmers get shit on by the EPA while the EPA allows larger offenses made by mega farms to go unpunished. Small farms have a reliance on FSA loans and they’re just better under Republican administrations because under a Democrat, those loans end up with those same aforementioned mega farms.

    As Lyndon Johnson used to say, “You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit.” yet that’s what Democrats keep trying to do.

    Democrats don’t stand unequivocally for family farmers, they stand for mega farms, monopoly seeding and outright farming control. Still, Farmers like this one know a turd when they see one.
