Do those same farmers still vote highly in favor of the one (american, I've made an assumption here) political party that denies global warming is real?

I come from a agricultural small town in the north, and up there you'd think Trump was a god. This despite every single farm up there depending on illegal migrant workers to basically survive.



In my area of the midwest, not at all, the farmers are more likely to be democrats because democrats promote stable and predictable crop markets. However, even in the extremely rural areas here farmers are still a minority of the population.


Sadly they do. Somehow other issues are more important to them than this.


Farmers are typically fairly wealthy, and hate paying taxes, mainly because they pay about 10% of their land value in property taxes each year.


So no one going to comment how those Democrat politicians could scale back their taxing agenda and pull in those farmer votes?


20% of US population is in rural countries. It's not the farmers electing the Republican Party
