They needed 8 months to figure out that tariffs won't make bananas grow in Iowa.

2. Have the soybean farmers use some of the billions

that they get in bailouts to build greenhouses.

5. We could probably grow some bananas in Florida, BUT good luck getting any labor to harvest them!

Since Trump and DeSantis have been chasing out undocumented farm labor,
tomatoes have already been ploughed under in Florida,
since it cost more to harvest them than they were worth to sell....
(Tariff policies also played into that somehow, but I forget the specifics--
OH, perhaps the Mexican farmers were dumping tomatoes into the U.S. market,
undercutting American farmers before the tariffs actually kicked in)

Luckily I had a pretty good tomato harvest this year in my own backyard,
as well as buying as many canned tomato products as I could,
before the prices significantly increase due to expected supply problems...

Can't grow bananas in Michigan, either.... oh well....
