The ones that will collapse are the small farmers. But, trump doesn't care because the mega-ag, Cargill, ADM, Corteva Agriscience, and BASF, will grow larger and enhance the monopolies that republicans love. Then the mega-ag will add to the oligarchy that supports the republican party. One vicious cycle that the Robert's Court gave us with Citizens United. Wow people talk about the next time they vote without looking at what trump is doing to the voting systems, WAKE UP...
