Farmers Happy With Cash But Worried About The Future

RANDOLPH, Minn. (AP) — Farmers in the U.S. are feeling the strain from trade disputes, particularly with China. President Donald Trump has announced $12 billion in aid to help them, but many farmers say it’s not enough. Gene Stehly, a South Dakota farmer, believes the aid is insufficient to cover losses from low commodity prices and declining sales. Farmers like Charlie Radman and Bryant Kagay express frustration, saying they need more certainty and new markets, not just temporary payments. The aid is seen as a stopgap, with many farmers wanting solutions to rising costs and market access beyond China.
