To the editor: 

Donald Trump’s attempt to try to buy the loyalty of farmers won’t help family farmers. It will only put a 2% dent into the problem. 

The problem is that big agribusiness corporations are getting super rich at the expense of family farmers. They and corporate farmers control the markets. Corporate farms overproduce, therefore driving prices down, but they still make a profit, while family farmers go further and further into debt. 

We need a major agricultural reform. If not, there won’t be any family farmers left and we will be paying much more for food. 

We must work with Canada concerning this agricultural reform because we basically have one agricultural economy, just as we have one basic general economy.
