In reply to the discussion: My brother, an Iowa farmer WHO VOTED FOR BIDEN, [View all]GusBob
(7,286 posts)74. As maybe you can tell from this thread
People here dont like farmers
People dont like rural folks
People really suck at reading comprehension
People have zero understanding of running a business which relies on every expense and profit that fluctuates based on everything including the weather.
Most folks here dont work dawn to dusk
I remember in early in Bill Clintons first presidency an aide was prattling on about ag issues, BC cut his legs out: spoken like a true city slicker
Folks here have zero comprehension what your brother is going thru.
How would you expect them to message it. Dems dont suck at messaging they have other problems involving understanding

Not to worry. Iowa farmers, like coal miners, always get plenty of attention and assistance.
