Wisconsin lost over 600 dairy farms last year

| "Already reeling from tariff war, some farmers aren’t receiving government support checks amid shutdown"

"The Trump administration had promised to help farmers like Boyd, those who suffered as a result of the international trade war after Chinese purchases of soybeans — once 60 percent of the market — plummeted to next to nothing. With farmers on the edge of ruin, the U.S. government offered $12 billion in support since September, checks that had become a lifeline.
