Not to worry Nemont. I did not and will not buy Trump products if the made in tag says anything except made in the USA. It is a standard that a lot of people should adopt. It would turn this country around in less than an election cycle. As far as the ag producers, well they have kind of crapped in there own nests for years. Greed again is there downfall. They are trying to raise enough crops to be able to export to boost the bottom line. They can make enough of a profit for a good life just raising for domestic consumption. Greed is the common thread in all of the economic problems. Corporate farming is no different. Mr. and Mrs. American farmer make a good living doing something that they love. It is the big Ag corporations that are killing the farmers. Just like everything else in this country, corporate greed is ruining our way of life.
How about you Nemont, do you bother to check the tags or print on the products that you and your family purchase? I encourage everyone to do it. It will make you feel better and will boost the economy at the same time.
