Farm Crisis: What They're Not Telling You

[Beebo Brink]

Excellent, knowledgeable insights into the U.S. farming industry.

Of special interest is the explanation of Chapter 12 bankruptcy, which is a specific category for farms & fishing. In 2016, Trump loosened the criteria for who qualifies for this easier bankruptcy path, which has been a boon to farming industry investors.

Okay, NOW I understand what the ICE raids are all about. It's a way of forcing immigrants into the "authorized" H2A system that farm labor contractors are using to abuse workers. Trump has made a point of reversing the reforms that addressed that exploitation.

This explains why so many farmers voted for Trump. They want the slave labor conditions to increase their own profits. Americans won't do the work because farmers won't provide decent wages and working conditions.

Thanks so much for the interesting video! I saw it on my youtube recommendations but slept on it till you posted it. I knew a lot of that about the farm lobby, but was still fooled into thinking there was a "crisis" of farmers going bankrupt recently.

I wonder if this is linked to RFK's "Health Farms"?
