The one thing i hope for is that he actually follows through on ending those corn subsidies
Economic Strain on Farmers: Many Iowa farmers depend on subsidies to offset production costs. Without them, smaller farms could struggle to compete, while larger farms might consolidate further[1][6].
Shift in Farming Practices: Kennedy has proposed redirecting subsidies toward regenerative agriculture, which could push farmers to adopt new practices. However, transitioning away from commodity crops like corn may be costly and time-intensive[6].
Ripple Effects on Local Economies: Rural communities reliant on agriculture could suffer job losses as reduced farm incomes impact local businesses and cooperatives[2][6].
Higher Food Prices: Reduced corn production could elevate prices for products dependent on corn, such as livestock feed and processed foods[2].
