Hundreds of [Indian] farmers, travelling on trucks and trolleys loaded with food, bedding and other supplies, began marching towards Delhi on Tuesday morning after talks between their unions and the government failed to yield a commitment regarding minimum prices for a range of crops.
Farm union leaders are seeking guarantees, backed by law, of more state support or a minimum purchase price for crops.
I'm not a farmer here in the US but I'm looking for farmer knowledge. As I understand it, we in the US have farm subsidies for all important crops. Perhaps this is what the farmers in India are seeking also? Are these programs here seen as successful generally by farmers or not successful? I'm asking farmers.
The world and the globalists in particular are finding out that you donโt f*ck with farmers.
