Trump's failures are scaring the shit out of banksters: Goss

Creighton University's Ernie Goss follows the economies of ten midwestern states including South Dakota's and back in 2024 he acknowledged President Joe Biden's leadership. But until now Republicans weren't anxious to write a new farm bill because the agriculture recession made the Biden/Harris administration look bad. 

A cynical observer might suspect bankers provided gloomy outlooks to the Index for at least five months especially in midwestern swing states to sink Democratic Party prospects just as Republicans in congress stalled immigration reform because it makes sense to Earth haters that after he was elected again the Orange Julius would run America into the dirt so banks can foreclose on the whole dealio to massage auction price points.

"When we look at what we're selling with agricultural goods and livestock in China, it's still down about 68% as compared to the same period in 2024," said Goss. "We've improved over 2025 numbers, but again, when you compare it with 2024, we've still got a long way to go, particularly on soybean and pork--pork would be a number-two product there." Goss says more than 26% named passage of a five-year farm bill as the number-two answer. Like members of Iowa's congressional delegation, he says farmers and bankers are frustrated with Congress' inability to pass an expanded farm bill. "This has been going on for a couple of years now," he said, "trying to get a five-year farm bill instead of these one-year bills. Farmers are facing so much volatility out there. There's no reason, in my judgment, for farmers having to deal with a one-year plan instead of a five-year plan." [Survey says tariffs still a top banker issue in KMAland]
