(18,876 posts)2. They should be happy
JD Vance is going to make TONS of money selling their farms and he probably gives a percentage to their orange leader, so really, they're supporting him.
Why wouldn't they be happy about that?

Farmers
Project 2025 will...
...attempt to eliminate farm subsidies like the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) program and the Price Loss Coverage (PLC) program. This means that farmers will no longer get money from the government to help them when prices for the crops they grow go down or when they do not harvest as much as they expected. [296]
...stop paying farmers twice for price and revenue losses during the same year. This means that farmers will get less money from the government to help them when prices for the crops they grow go down or when they do not harvest as much as they expected. [297]
...reduce how much the government pays to help farmers buy crop insurance. This means that farmers will have to pay more to buy crop insurance to protect themselves against bad weather or low prices. [297]
...eliminate the Conservation Reserve Program. This means that farmers will no longer get paid to not farm some of their land. [304]
...repeal the federal sugar program. This means that sugar farmers will no longer be protected from competition from foreign sugar growers. [296]
...oppose "climate-smart" agricultural practices. This would mean that the U.S. would not support efforts to reduce agriculture's contribution to climate change, potentially leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions from the agricultural sector. [293]
...cap and then phase down the H-2A visa program: This could lead to higher labor costs for farmers, which would make it more difficult for some farmers to stay in business, especially those who operate on thin margins. This could also lead to labor shortages, reduced food production, and higher food prices for consumers. [611]
