    This is part of the plan. Small farms will be run out of business and then bought for a low price and consolidated by mega farms.

    Big Agriculture wants this and lobbies for it to happen.

      What a coincidence that the VP has a financial interest in independent farms going bankrupt.

            Snopes is appalling.

            So Vance owns a fraction of a company that owns a fraction of a company that allows fractional ownership of farmland. They can only sell to accredited investors so the headline is false but snopes don’t have the balls to admit it.

            I’m not saying he has no interest in making farmland cheap, but Tarrif insider knowledge is multiple times more profitable than trying to influence farmland prices through labor costs.

              Something something Hilary Clinton and uranium. Funny how that was a big issue until it went through anyway and wasn’t. It’s almost as if these crooks aren’t serious
