Farmers across the country are issuing increasingly urgent warnings that

they’ll face grim consequences if they don’t get help selling this year’s

bumper crop that many have begun harvesting.

Trade deals many had hoped would quickly emerge after President Donald

Trump slapped tariffs on some of the United States’ biggest agricultural

customers haven’t come. A farm bailout is no sure thing on Capitol Hill. And

farmers — many of whom voted for Trump — say time is running out.

“It just seems like things have stalled all summer long,” said Brian Warpup,

who grows corn and soybeans on his 3,900-acre farm in northeastern

Indiana. “We’re always hopeful that those negotiations are moving forward,

but yet with harvest here, patience may be running thin.”

Across the US, farmers describe increasingly dire circumstances stemming

from a confluence of factors — trade wars, Trump’s immigration crackdown,

inflation and high interest rates.

Though the challenges vary in different parts of the country, farmers in

some cases, particularly on the West Coast, are struggling to find labor topick their

 harvest. Others, especially in the Midwest, said they can’t sell what

they’ve produced. And many are scrambling to find storage.
