      What's going on here looks an awful lot like insurance fraud. If you can set a narrative that your dipshit accident was actually arson, it can help your insurance payout and/or future premiums. Farmers do this ALL THE TIME. Insurance fraud is a way of life LOL

      Don't believe me? Read "Heartl*nd" by Sarah Sm*rsh, noted purveyor of farmer respectability, carefully. She details exactly how her family ran an insurance fraud to get extra payouts for an "accidental" fire that they lit themselves. Like, she lays it right out. It's a thing.

      A careful reader might wonder "Wait, does this mean the local press & the farmers rolling out to help know this is a scam?" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I would say a fair number are credulous enough to fall for it. And a fair number would also smell exactly what this guy's cooking.pic.twitter.com/CnXrCgXUkq

      There's a combined sense in farm country of "we're the biggest victims in the world" & also that the public that buys food are not so much customers, as we are marks to be played. NYT fell right into it lmaoooooo Beautiful fraud assist there, NYT. Beautiful.

      Not only does this family have insurance to cover their losses, like any business does they've also raised $132K on their gofundme when, again, this situation has a lot of red flags for fraud.

      This is exactly why the farmer-as-victim narrative is so important to the farm community. It gets them BIG MONEY. It gets them sympathetic coverage in the New York Times, bc the NYT really wants farmers to think it's cool for some misbegotten reason.

      It's also led to the last 3 years having the highest profits in US farm history while the rest of America drifts deeper & deeper into hunger & food insecurity. Because nearly all the funding for the food system goes straight to farmers, & NONE to the hungry themselves.

      The US farm economy is fraud all the way down and well-meaning but absolutely ignorant, bleeding-heart coverage like this is a big part of why.

      "He won't speculate on a motive for what he believes was arson" I'm sorry, did I just have a stroke or is this entire article not a stenographer's report of how he's running around telling everyone "it was definitely because of my Trump flags"pic.twitter.com/qAt2zSEtpj

      IME Nebraska far-leftists are so far up farmers' ass that if you're a farmworker who dares talk openly about experiences getting harangued, financially screwed, & outright physically harmed by farmers they actually yell at you for being an "condescending urban asshole" lmaooo

          Hand-wringing articles on "farmer victimization" that don't hit the following are malpractice: -median farm household incomes have exceeded non-farmers' every year since 1996 -farmers have 10x the median net worth of non-farmers -pls read the reporthttps://www.heritage.org/agriculture/report/addressing-risk-agriculture …

          In closing: Major press outlets, for the love of god, if you're going to write on farm country you better hire people who know what they're looking at. Here are some suggestions! @sarah_k_mock @the_meat_lady @MegRaeB @SylvanaquaFarms @apihtawikosisan @_beccaharrison

          Not to mention chaff can still get caught up around the engine & start fires. And once the combine's on fire it spreads to the rest of the parked equipment via the stubble. "But but but the engine's all the way up thur" isn't the own you think it is
