The American Farm Bureau Federation’s Samantha Ayoub reported that “the U.S. Courts report that 315 farm bankruptcies were filed in calendar year 2025, up 46% from 2024. While still down from recent highs, this is the second year in a row of increased filings.”
I don’t know how accurate this is, but it does fit every farmer I’ve ever met perfectly, so maybe they were onto something?
Peasant farmers are reactionary. Petty bourgeois farmers are reactionary. Collective farming is the only answer.
