President Trump announced a $10 billion bailout for U.S. farmers, but its rollout is hindered by an ongoing government shutdown. With half of the USDA staff on furlough, the agency lacks the manpower to proceed with the bailout plans, leaving farmers uncertain and in need of assistance. Additionally, farmers, particularly those growing soybeans, face significant economic challenges as prices drop due to decreased demand linked to tariffs and a bumper crop.
