Farmer compares current fuel prices, make American agriculture great again!

On 9/23/2024, Donald Trump visited a farm near Smithton, Westmoreland County, to commiserate with farmers who contrasted their love of farming with the hard times they are facing.

Pennsylvania farmer compares his current fuel prices to what they were under President Trump:

Off-road Diesel:

2020: $1.86

2024: $2.95

On-road Diesel:

2020: $2.80

Trump will NEVER support an unrealized capital gains tax. “They want to give you a [tax] if the value of your land goes up… It’s a Communist thing.”

Pennsylvania farmer: “I’m sure that when you get elected, my line would be ‘help us make American agriculture great again!’” Trump: “We’ll take care of it. It’s not very difficult to do. We’re just being ripped off by other countries… and this administration has allowed it to happen.”
