[VertigoBE]

I have never blocked someone, for any reason, on principle I just do not like shutting out one part of different view points, but having 30 something pages filling up what was otherwise a place with interesting conversation is just a bit too much for me.

Bessent says he's a soybean farmer.

He says, “In case you don’t know it, I’m actually a soybean farmer."

Truth: He's a multi-millionaire who rents land to corn and soybean farmers.

He says he feels the pain just like other farmers.



Do the Trumper's ever tell the truth?

Hardly ever..........always twisting the truth for their own gain.

If you had read the article you quoted:

The farmland generates between $100,000 and $1 million in rental income for Bessent, via a revenue sharing agreement with those producing the crops.

Yes, he is feeling the pain as the income from his land is via revenue sharing which means if the farmers aren't making money, neither is he. The fact that he has other revenue streams is immaterial.

Being a farmer does not always mean one is tilling the North 40.

The problem with AI is it gives you whatever answer you want, GIGO. As fast as the troll posts, it's GIGO.

I notice that you didn't refute any of the facts I have posted here.........you just say you don't like me.

Yet you are unable to refute any of the facts I have posted.

I conclude that you just don't like facts and you don't like being wrong.

I can only recommend that you try to learn more so you know the difference between right and wrong.

Maybe then you won't be so angry and hostile.

Good luck.

No one can refute your "facts" because they are opinions based on your own sad reality of being a moral crusader.... just look how that has worked out for Minnesota.

I on the other hand am an optimist at heart.

Example - Average life expectancy in the USA is 79.4yo..... So I'm hoping the law of averages works out that time will silence you within the next year.

He said he IS a farmer.

He is NOT a farmer.

He is a billionaire landlord.

He wears a suit and tie--not overalls.

And he lies.

Trump sanctions Russian oil companies, Putin does a supposedly new Nuclear missile test.....LOL.

My FACTS are backed up with links to reliable sources.

You can't refute my facts because you have none of your own..........and you continue to babble nonsense and threats.

You are laughable.

I think you need to learn about farming and terminology. He said he is a farmer not a farm worker there is a huge difference.

My grandfather was a farmer. I saw him either in a three piece suit or jodhpurs and a riding outfit when he was inspecting his farm. Now, his farm had grown to hundreds of thousands of hectares when he passed, but that was his life except for a brief stint in WW I and politics after.

Same for my dad, he got his PhD in horticulture from UCLA and continued in the family business. He never wore overalls, but slacks and a Panama hat with a pressed shirt in the summers and added appropriate clothing in the winter. His favorite saying was that "best fertilizer for land is the footprints of the owner". He grew the properties considerably and managed it. But he was never behind a plow.

My sister manages the family farm now. She is not behind the plow, but manages the farms down to the brand of fertilizers and negotiates the crop sales, hires and fires workers etc. etc.. She would be insulted if you told her she was not a farmer.

Maybe your definition of a farmer is a subsistence farmer on 20 acres?

I also have never used the block button, but, FB has become intolerable. My one and only.

 

[wesheltonj]

So @Frostbite I own a ranch, but I don’t run cattle on it, so am not a rancher?

Do you rent it out to others?

Your definition is silly.

Because you're defending a liar.

I was raised on a nice farm of 300 acres.

We did our own work--we didn't rent it to anybody.

Bessen is not MANAGING anything.

He's a billionaire absentee landlord.

You're unable to figure that out?

Stop defending liars........your life will get a lot easier.

 

[wesheltonj]

Do you rent it out to others?

No, but others run their cattle on it.

 

[Tanks]

That's subsistence farming. If you had a decent size farm you would not have been doing all the work.

Bessen is not MANAGING anything.

He's a billionaire absentee landlord.

The point is that he is still affected by the soybean sales blockage by China. He does have skin in the game. I think that is what he was trying to convey. Stop trying to parse everything people in the administration say with a negative spin.

 

[Frostbite]

No, but others run their cattle on it.

So what's your point.

Bessen is a billionaire absentee landlord.......not a farmer.
