Black Farmers Group….
President Trump’s broad efforts to cut wasteful federal spending, including some foreign aid, will end up hurting U.S. farmers, an advocate says.
John Boyd Jr., president of the National Black Farmers Association, predicts “havoc and devastation” for family farmers like himself, if the Trump administration moves forward with the spending cuts it envisions for the United States Agency for International Development.
“The president appears to be kind of heartless here, with the cuts that he’s making. I’m disappointed in the administration so far,” Boyd told “NewsNation Prime” on Sunday.
More than $340 million in food purchases and shipments have immediately been paused, leaving tons of American crops in limbo, the Washington Post has reported. Boyd says even voters who supported Trump in the 2024 presidential election probably do not support the president’s unilateral approach…

Kentucky Farmers/Univresity Reaserch Centers….
From farmers who have installed fencing for rotational grazing to medical researchers running million dollar laboratories, Kentuckians are worried about Trump administration plans to cut federal contract payments.
University of Kentucky President Eli Capilouto on Monday said a decision announced late Friday by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) “will cost UK tens of millions of dollars annually and will hit our local and state economies.”
The NIH slashed payments to research grant recipients for so-called indirect costs such as equipment, administration and other overhead expenses. A federal judge on Mondayissued a restraining order temporarily blocking the NIH plan in 22 states but not Kentucky.
Capilouto said the new policy would affect UK research in cancer, heart disease, children’s health, Alzheimer’s and opioid use disorder.
In a message sent campuswide, Capilouto said UK”s “government relations team is in Washington again this week, meeting with our congressional delegation and others to communicate how fundamentally important and serious this issue is to our community and all those we serve through discovery and healing.”
The NIH announced it is lowering payments for indirect costs to 15% for all existing and new contract awards. “This one change, if enacted for the next 12 months, would represent a cut of at least $40 million to the University and its critical research efforts on behalf of the health of our state,” Capilouto said.
Capilouto said rates for indirect costs have been negotiated between institutions and the NIH and range from 20% of a grant award to 54%, depending upon the research being conducted and the terms of the award.
Payments for indirect costs cover items that make basic research possible….

Illinois Drainage District…
After hearing about Trump’s order, Richard Lyons, a farmer and director of the Illinois Association of Drainage Districts, said he was worried about an already approved $2.3 million low-interest federal loan to replace drainage tiles in Montgomery County. The loan is part of a $307 million USDA grant to modernize rural drinking water and wastewater infrastructure.
Drainage tiles are pipes buried under farmland that carry away excess water. First built in the 1890s, many of the tiles in Montgomery County are collapsing, which causes flooding, Lyons said.
“My concerns are that Trump has no knowledge, zero knowledge of which is important relating to agriculture, especially agricultural drainage,” Lyons said….

Iowa Farmers…
“USAID is important for farmers,” Aaron Lehman, president of the Iowa Farmers Union, said. “It’s unfortunate that we would drop those relationships that we built over time.”
Surely the pain and uncertain future is worth it to own the libs?

I’d think Trump and Musk are working HARD to piss a LOT of people off who actually voted FOR Trump and Republicans and WILL be giving THAT a HARD second choice come Nov. 2026….
