US farm bankruptcies jumped 20 percent in 2019 despite federal aid | TheHill
U.S. farms faced a surge of bankruptcies in 2019, up 20 percent despite aid efforts from Washington.
President Trump's administration allocated $28 billion in aid for farmers affected by his trade war with China in the last two years, but bankruptcies were recorded at the highest level since 2011, according to the American Farm Bureau's study reported by CNN.

Thanks for the trade war, Donald of Orange. I doubt these poor folks will be voting for you in Nov.
