They said they’d stick with President Donald Trump until the end — but this appears to be the end.<\/p>\n

Read more Trump\u2019s war \u2018a muddled Orwellian mess\u2019 as he refuses to acknowledge reality<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the course of his second term, President Donald Trump has repeatedly alienated the various voting blocs that carried him to office. Now, according to Foreign Policy<\/u>, he\u2019s angered one of the last groups that overwhelmingly supported him but has recently soured as his policies have failed them: farmers. <\/p>\n

Farmers\u2019 anger toward Trump has largely been driven by the disruption of energy and fertilizer supplies that have emerged as a consequence of the war with Iran. As Foreign Policy explains, \u201cGlobal energy and fertilizer prices have skyrocketed as a result of the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran, which has throttled energy production across the region and strangled flows through the Strait of Hormuz. That\u2019s hitting American farmers hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Iran isn\u2019t the only factor that has farmers fed up. Even before the war, says Foreign Policy, American agriculture had been struggling due to Trump\u2019s tariffs and attacks on immigration, the latter of which has exacerbated a preexisting labor shortage. What\u2019s more, Trump gutted the Department of Agriculture and implemented funding freezes, which blocked millions of dollars in grants that farmers were depending on. <\/p>\n

Now, they\u2019re getting hit with sky-high diesel and fertilizer prices, and their frustration is mounting. Writes Foreign Policy, \u201cA recent survey<\/u> from Purdue University\u2019s Ag Economy Barometer found that around two-thirds of respondents believed that the Iran war would have a \u2018very negative\u2019 or \u2018negative\u2019 impact on their farm\u2019s net income in 2026. That\u2019s compared to only about 13 percent of respondents who held positive views of the conflict\u2019s impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, farmers are losing faith in the Trump administration more generally: \u201cAccording to the survey, the percentage of respondents who believe that the United States is headed in the \u2018right direction\u2019 also dropped to 52 percent in May, sharply down from 74 percent in July 2025. The share of respondents who believe the country is on the \u2018wrong track\u2019 has also surged, increasing from 26 percent in July 2025 to 48 percent this May.\u201d<\/p>\n

That shift is \u201csignificant<\/u>,\u201d said Wesley Davis, the chief agriculture economist at Meridian Agribusiness Advisors. \u201cThe farming community is typically supportive of the Republican administrations, and so that has been surprising to see \u2014 the frustration start to emerge in the data like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump seems to know that he\u2019s losing stature among farmers, as he flew to Wisconsin last week to participate in an agriculture roundtable and placate the base. But Foreign Policy is pessimistic that he\u2019ll be able to turn things around.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the damage might be hard to reverse,\u201d the magazine concludes. \u201cEven after the massive bailout from the first Trump administration, U.S. soybean farmers lost considerable market share in the aftermath of the trade war that they still have not recovered. Barrett, the Cornell University economist, said that the Trump administration\u2019s purported assistance likely pales in comparison to the farmers\u2019 economic toll.\u201d<\/p>\n
