According to reports, US corn belt farmers say they are facing the worst crisis in 40 years. After Trump launched a war against Iran, the cost of diesel and fertilizer skyrocketed, pushing food farmers to the brink of survival. A recent study by the United States Federation of Farm Bureaus shows that without government aid, farmers growing nine major crops, including corn, will lose a total of 31 billion US dollars this year and 32 billion US dollars in 2027. AFBF economist FaithParum said corn growers will lose 131 US dollars per acre this year, and the loss will expand to 167 US dollars in 2027. Soybean growers will lose $80 per acre this year and $138 next year. 2027 will be the sixth consecutive year of negative returns for most major field crops in the US. The increasing pressure is the latest sign of an impact on America's hinterland after the Middle East conflict has continued for six months. As key midterm elections approach, these economic pressures are also affecting voter sentiment in the US agricultural states.
