"A federal food aid program started under the Eisenhower Administration has temporarily lost funding under President Donald Trump’s order to dismantle government spending.The Kansas Farmers Union has warned that the recent disruptions to FFP could eliminate an entire market for Kansas farmers."

“It’ll certainly be an economic hit to Kansas Farmers,” Nick Levendofsky with the Kansas Farmers Union said. Commodity prices are at an all-time low, and farmers are struggling.”

Yeah well,your the group in the western part of Kansas that voted for Trump by a margin of 90-95% in those counties both times. Eh come on..if it gets really bad Trump will just fork over yet another subsidy check to you at tax payer expense.
