Robert Streit, an American agronomist, claims the Biden administration is attempting to pass the blame for the hardships of American farmers. He said, "Biden really can't blame Putin for causing the problem because he himself caused the problem.”

For nearly 40 years, Robert Streit has been working with United States farmers who are now in a tough situation. Multiple farmers throughout the United States have been losing business and some lose their entire business due to rising prices for fuels and fertilizers, the cost of growing crops, and cash flow seems to be negative.

I don’t believe any of it has to do with the Biden administration. United States agriculture has become increasingly centralized, increasingly industrialized, and heavily monopolized over maybe 40 years. It used to be a viable option to make a living as a small farmer without taking out loans to buy the equipment and fertilizers. Now, you will need a larger amount of capital or a larger amount of debt — to each their own. Fluctuations in the market are now something that can make you sensitive.

Some people would blame the Republican culture of corporate welfare on big agriculture and the refusal to pass no-nonsense regulations like the right to repair. Many independent farmers can’t compete when you have a broken tractor for multiple weeks due to them not being able to repair their own tractor. They also can get sued by Monsanto when their “intellectual property” seed blows into your fields and starts to grow.

When seed cleaners get driven out of business by frivolous lawsuits from agriculture because using your own seed from last year’s harvest cuts into their profits. There’s also the situation in which they use the farm bill to grandstand and try and push non-agricultural political agendas.
