First district Democratic congressional candidate Christina Bohannan
From the Bohannan campaign: ( Since I am so pissed about Republicans screwing over Iowa’s farmers, this fits right in:)
| Dave, there are moments when you have to pause and say … what the????
While Iowa’s soybean farmers are struggling to stay afloat, Mariannette Miller-Meeks is proudly backing a $40 billion taxpayer-funded bailout for Argentina — one of the United States’ biggest competitors in the global soybean market. This is great for Argentina, but not so much for our state. Mariannette Miller-Meeks ran on a platform of “America First” but this woman isn’t even putting Iowa first. It’s time to get her out of office and elect a leader who will actually fight for Iowans.

But thanks to the tariffs Miller-Meeks is actively supporting, the cost of farming in Iowa has skyrocketed. Prices on essential supplies like seed, equipment, and fertilizer have shot up anywhere from 10 to 40 percent. At the same time, China — once one of our biggest buyers of American soybeans — walked away from the U.S. market because of those tariffs. Instead of buying from Iowa farmers, China is now buying from Argentina. So what is Mariannette Miller-Meeks doing? Is she fighting to undo the damage her own policies caused? Is she pushing her party to stand with Iowa’s farmers? Nope. Mariannette Miller-Meeks is throwing her support behind the $40 billion bailout for Argentina — all at the expense of Iowa farmers. The Argentinian government is taking full advantage of this money by making it as easy and as cheap as possible for China to buy soybeans from them. Miller-Meeks has made her priorities clear. When politicians tell you who they are, listen. And when they put politics and the interests of foreign countries over the people they were elected to represent — it’s time to vote them out. Thank you, Bohannan HQ |

I do have serious deep sympathy for Iowa farmers and landowners who are doing/have done two things. The first is making serious, long-term efforts to farm more sustainably. That means doing a LOT more than “conservation tillage” (yeah, right) and/or giving up a teensy bit of land for a saturated buffer paid for mostly or entirely by taxpayers. The second thing is not having voted in 2024 for Trump. By 2024, everyone knew or should have known what voting for Trump would mean. As for the other Iowa farmers and landowners, and there are tens of thousands of them, the ones who voted for Trump and are doing minimal meh conservation, my sympathy can be played on an extremely teensy violin.
