Farmers, Let’s Talk: The Reality of 2025 Farming – Storm Coming or Already Here? #agriculture #farming #trump #tariffs
Farmers, I want to hear what’s happening in your world right now. Because from where I’m sitting, there seems to be a big disconnect between what farmers are experiencing and what’s being talked about (or not talked about) publicly.
In this episode, I dive deep into the biggest hurdles farm families are facing today—from economic pressures and trade wars to the realities of running a farm and planning for the next generation.
I’m sharing what I’m hearing directly from farmers: the impact of tariffs, reduced commodity prices, rising input costs, and the strain these challenges are putting on operations. My goal is to bridge the gap, shine a light on the harsh realities many are facing, and create an open space where farmers can share their thoughts.
