They have no disease in their pork industry. matched

They have lots of reserves in row crops like soybeans and corn. matched

And guess who's become their best friend during the first Trump administration and since then? matched

Brazil. matched

Brazil went from selling them 13% of their row crops like soybean and sorghum and all these other things to now providing them with over 43% of those same items. matched

And that percentage is growing and growing every year. matched

Now, when you take into combination, they're going to stop buying these things from farmers. matched

So farmers are going to reduce the amount of these things that they grow. matched

And then you start talking about them placing a reciprocal tariff on the items that we're trying to sell. matched

It just causes overall prices to climb and climb and climb. matched

And that's on steroids this time around. matched

Now, these large ag companies can you know, that are farming thousands and thousands of acres all across the country, just like any other really big company. matched

They can weather these storms a lot better than a small farmer like me can't. matched

because you rely every year on that crop you've got out there on your acreage behind your house to get you through to the next year. matched

So we don't have the same advantages that they do. matched
