2019-06-21 | Once-loyal farmers begin to doubt Trump amid trade feuds and bad weather - The Washington Post
'Like farmers around the country, they were faced with gut-wrenching choices: Plant their corn in muddy fields or file an insurance claim?'
'The sky had finally cleared after weeks of record-setting rain, and now farmer Ray Martinmaas was facing a time crunch. '
'Martinmaas, 69, says he’s skeptical that Trump’s aid package will help, given the uncertainty about how much individual farmers will receive and who will qualify. '
'Many still say they support him and that these trade disputes will one day lead to more open markets for their crops. '
'He’s had to put a moratorium on buying new equipment, and he’s stuck with grain bins full of soybeans, because China isn’t buying. '
