    “Thank you, President Trump! Our country finally has an advocate for American farmers, families, and businesses in the White House!” Representative Randy Feenstra, an Iowa Republican who prides himself on meeting with farmers and families in each of the 36 counties he represents […] The message was starkly at odds with the one coming from major groups representing farmers throughout the country, who issued statements warning of dire impacts on the nation’s food producers.

    Hey, look at that. That Feenstra guy is hoarding all the shit in his ivory tower.
