The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts that total farm sector debt will rise to $624.7 billion this year \u2014 the highest on record \u2014 to weather current economic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The conditions echo the 1980s farm crisis, when Democratic candidates leaned heavily into farmers\u2019 tight margins to win in rural states, said Cory Haala, a history professor at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point who wrote a book on the party\u2019s wins in the Midwest. 1986 saw the elections of Democrats Kent Conrad in North Dakota and Tom Daschle in South Dakota on messages focused on helping farmers crushed by collapsing crop markets.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, a handful of Democratic candidates today are tapping into farmers\u2019 frustration as they campaign for House seats in red states such as Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin. Democratic Senate candidate Josh Turek in Iowa and independent candidate Dan Osborn in Nebraska are highlighting the economic pinch afflicting the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4339\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/860543cda9f94e4d9a3c8cf7d046fc32-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/860543cda9f94e4d9a3c8cf7d046fc32-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/860543cda9f94e4d9a3c8cf7d046fc32-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/860543cda9f94e4d9a3c8cf7d046fc32-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/860543cda9f94e4d9a3c8cf7d046fc32-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/860543cda9f94e4d9a3c8cf7d046fc32-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figcaption>Workers plant produce at Bluff View Farms this spring in West Jefferson, North Carolina.

The return of the New World screwworm is a threat to the nation&#8217;s cattle herds. (Mark Makela\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Checking for screwworms is often practically unfeasible with the vast swaths of land required in cattle rearing, said Justin Belcher, a fifth-generation cattle farmer in West Texas. To hire the required manpower to check his animals for the screwworm would evaporate what margins he has left.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we did that, we wouldn\u2019t be making any money at all whatsoever,\u201d Belcher said. \u201cThis would not be a business at that point. This would be a hobby.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>USDA under the Trump administration has drawn scrutiny for its response to the screwworm, particularly after the White House requested significant cuts to the agency\u2019s budget and the U.S. DOGE Service shuttered some<b> <\/b>of its operations. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, a Republican and fiercely loyal Trump supporter, has publicly fumed at Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, saying she hasn\u2019t been aggressive enough in addressing the screwworm threat to cattle ranchers. The parasite can also infect domestic pets.<\/p>\n<p>Miller advocates using a system employed in the 1960s to eradicate the worms that involves baiting and killing the pests.<\/p>\n<p>If more beef is taken off the market because of infections in cows, that could further drive up supermarket prices at a time when affordability is registering as voters\u2019 top concern in upcoming elections. America\u2019s cattle herds are already at their lowest levels in more than seven decades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re very, very frustrated with the way this has been handled and that we\u2019re not doing enough,\u201d Miller said of cattle farmers. \u201cIt could have some adverse effects in the midterms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rollins has said USDA has been aware of the growing screwworm threat for years and worked with governments in Latin America to contain its spread. She has denied that DOGE cuts affected the administration\u2019s response to the screwworm.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4341\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0a47cb56019b7cb66b10b726c2f5920e-1024x683.jpg\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0a47cb56019b7cb66b10b726c2f5920e-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0a47cb56019b7cb66b10b726c2f5920e-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0a47cb56019b7cb66b10b726c2f5920e-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0a47cb56019b7cb66b10b726c2f5920e-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0a47cb56019b7cb66b10b726c2f5920e-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figcaption>Herding cattle toward a transport truck on the Schroder family ranch in Colorado.

The border closure has also helped sustain high beef prices, helping cattle ranchers stay profitable. Trump also negotiated a commitment from China to purchase 25 million metric tons of soybeans annually, helping expand the market for farmers reeling under reciprocal tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans\u2019 One Big Beautiful Bill, which Trump signed into law last year, provided subsidies for<b> <\/b>crop insurance and raised reference prices for crops to keep up with increased costs. The administration also introduced $12 billion in bailouts this summer to help farmers while they wait for the agricultural benefits in the One Big Beautiful Bill to go into effect later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Thomsen said that he appreciates the bridge payments in the short term but that they don\u2019t address longer-term inflation concerns. Ballooning costs mean he has to hold on to equipment longer, like his sprayer, which broke down this week from age, limiting his ability to protect his crops with herbicide.<\/p>\n<p>He said he\u2019s hedging by cutting costs where he can in case conditions change again. China could back away from its soybean promise. Inflation from the war in Iran could continue even if the peace agreement announced this week reopens the Strait of Hormuz. The screwworm could spread.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s just a lot of uncertainty right now,\u201d Thomsen said. \u201cSo you\u2019ve just got to try to keep yourself protected as well as you can.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=4316\">Commanders rookie Sonny Styles has the green dot and the green light<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rural approval of the president falls to a new low amid rising bankruptcies and trade uncertainty, and some farmers accuse the GOP of making a hard business harder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4336,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interesting"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Farmers backed Trump.
