  Farm bailout payments designed to offset the impacts of Trump’s trade war have overwhelmingly flowed to the largest and most successful farmers. Top one-tenth of recipients collected more than half of the payments. https://www.ewg.org/agmag/2019/07/usda-bailout-impact-trump-s-tariffs-goes-biggest-richest-farmers …

  We owe money to China, Farmer's get screwed by China via Trump, we pay farmers welfare aid, and then we owe more money to China. Let's play what is the common factor

  Farmers want to farm. They don’t want hand outs. Just ask your constituents. My idea: Give the money to the single mothers and their dependent children whose homes and food stamps are being taken away. Let me know what you think please.
