The Florida Democratic Party Calls Attention to the Growing Crisis Facing America’s Farmers

Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried released the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s failed trade and economic policies hurting American Farmers:

“As someone who’s worked side by side with Florida’s farmers, I know how much pride they take in their work and how much they’ve endured. Now, Donald Trump’s reckless trade wars and economic chaos have left too many of them wondering whether they can even keep their farms.

When I was Commissioner of Agriculture, I saw firsthand how fragile the farm economy can be and how vital it is to support producers with steady markets and smart policies. Farmers don’t want bailouts or band-aids. They deserve a president who fights for them, not one who trades away their livelihoods for political games.”

The Florida Democratic Party stands with America’s farmers and demands real solutions to stabilize markets and ensure that those who feed this nation can keep their farms.
