Farmers want ANOTHER bailout

This is the part where the farmers start putting "No Farmers, No Food" and "Like To Eat? Thank a Farmer" bullshit stickers on their government subsidized diesel back windows, and playacting as the noble benefactors of food.

Christ, they're tiresome.

Zumindest kenne ich alles von dir geschriebene aus Deutschland auch. Hier gab es vor 2 Jahren massive Proteste, bei denen sie Straßensperren errichtet haben und sogar die Fähre stürmen wollten, mit der der Wirtschaftsminister mit seiner Familie aus dem Urlaub kam. Auslöser war die geplante Streichung der Beihilfe für Diesel.

Some farmers grow food for Americans to eat. And a lot of farmers don’t.
