The Democrats are standing with America\u2019s farmers amid Donald Trump\u2019s devastating trade war that\u2019s screwing them over, putting the agricultural sector into recession, and wrecking the U.S. economy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, the DNC released<\/a> a new ad featuring John Bartman \u2014 a fifth-generation Illinois soybean farmer \u2014 who shares his personal story and underscores the devastating impacts farmers are facing because of Trump\u2019s disastrous economic policies. The ads target vulnerable House Republicans in Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, and Kentucky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DNC also hosted a press call this week featuring Governor Tim Walz, U.S. Representative Sharice Davids, DNC Deputy Executive Director Libby Schneider, and Bartman to hold Trump accountable for his unhinged trade war and his \u201cAmerica Last\u201d bailout for Argentina\u2019s economy \u2014 on the same day that Argentine President Javier Milei met with Trump at the White House to discuss<\/a> the $20 billion bailout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at some of the coverage below: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

USA Today:<\/strong><\/a> US soybean crisis is a ‘man-made disaster caused by’ Trump. And farmers know it. | Opinion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Chris Brennan 10\/15\/2025]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJohn Bartman was where he wanted to be on Oct. 14 \u2013 but not doing what he wanted to be doing \u2013 while sitting on the tractor his grandfather purchased in 1965, on the Illinois farm his family has worked for five generations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBartman wanted to be harvesting his soybeans \u2013 Illinois ranks first among American states in land dedicated to that crop \u2013 and selling them to China. Instead, he was using his phone to speak in a Zoom meeting arranged by the Democratic National Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Let’s be clear: This is a man-made disaster caused by Donald Trump and his administration,\u2019 Bartman said as soybean farmers across America, in the middle of their annual harvest, have anxiously watched their biggest market vanish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington Examiner<\/strong><\/a>: Democrats flip \u2018America First\u2019 script on GOP over Argentina bailout <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[David Sivak, 10\/15\/2025] <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocrats are using a $20 billion lifeline to Argentina to claim Republicans care more about bailing out foreign governments than helping Americans at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe messaging, a riff on President Donald Trump\u2019s \u2018America First\u2019 policy agenda, intensified ahead of a White House visit by Argentinian President Javier Milei on Tuesday, where Trump said the United States would \u2018be there\u2019 for Argentina, so long as Milei succeeds in midterm elections set to take place later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocrats have variously framed the bailout as an affront to American farmers, as Argentina sells its soybean crops at \u2018manipulative prices\u2019 to China, as well as average voters who fear rising healthcare costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee is also picking up on the discontent, and Politico\u2019s Morning Ag notes that this week the party is rolling out \u2018a five-figure ad campaign that will target a dozen red Midwestern districts on YouTube TV and other streaming services\u2019 ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The 30-second video showcases Illinois soybean farmer John Bartman, who talks about the realities of how tariffs are impacting his livelihood, and says: \u2018We don\u2019t want a bailout. We want a market. Bailouts are band-aids. What he is doing is destroying our markets. And when those markets disappear, we are not going to get them back.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectrum News:<\/strong><\/a> Democrats launch ads attacking Trump over soybean crisis facing farmers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Cassie Semyon, 10\/14\/2025]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee is launching a campaign-style advertisement Tuesday that attacks President Donald Trump for the financial pain his tariff policies are causing soybean farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeginning Tuesday, the 30-second spot, first obtained by Spectrum News, will appear on YouTube and streaming platforms such as Hulu. It features John Bartman of Marengo, Illinois, a fifth-generation farmer, who says soybean farmers \u2018don\u2019t want a bailout. We want a market.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC’s five-figure ad buy is timed to coincide with the visit of Argentinian President Javier Milei, an ally of Trump, to the White House, as the administration is expected to aid the financially struggling country. In a post on X last week, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the U.S. would directly purchase Argentine pesos and undertake a $20 billion currency swap with Argentina\u2019s central bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocrats have railed against the decision, and even some of Trump\u2019s fellow Republicans have raised questions about his decision to help a country that competes with U.S. soybean farmers. China has purchased a large volume of soybeans from Argentina this year while icing out American farmers because of Trump\u2019s tariff policies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Politico Weekly Agriculture:<\/strong><\/a> Dems’ soybean blitz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Grace Yarrow, 10\/14\/2025]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocrats are launching an agriculture-centered opening argument ahead of the midterm campaign season, slamming Trump\u2019s tariffs for hurting soybean producers and other farmers who have traditionally backed the president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Democratic National Committee is rolling out a five-figure ad campaign that will target a dozen red Midwestern districts on YouTube TV and other streaming services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe 30-second video features Illinois soybean producer John Bartman, who explains that Trump\u2019s tariffs have put a \u2018major strain\u2019 on farmers who rely on exporting to countries like China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArgentina controversy: The messaging surrounding the ad campaign also capitalizes on recent events that angered many soybean farmers: the Trump administration\u2019s promise to bail out Argentina and reports within hours that the South American country had sold 20 shiploads of soybeans to China \u2014 a key market for U.S. soy producers that\u2019s been eliminated since May.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Channel3000<\/strong><\/a>: DNC chair looks to connect with Wisconsin farmers in push to flip rural districts<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Kyle Jones, 10\/14\/2025]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC on Tuesday began a new ad push targeting Rep. Derrick Van Orden (Dist. 3) and Rep. Bryan Steil (Dist. 1) for their support of tariffs put in place by President Donald Trump that are hurting Wisconsin farmers. China has stopped importing American soybeans because of the tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Most soybean farmers now in this country have no market to trade, and they’re left with these crops that are rotting and no sense of how they’re going to actually afford their bills,\u2019 Martin said. \u2018What we’re seeing is so many of those families being squeezed out now because Donald Trump doesn’t understand basic economics.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cData from the U.S. Department of Agriculture shows farm production expenses are expected to rise $12 billion from last year. Soybean farmers, in particular, have taken a hit because of trade issues with China. The American Soybean Association said last month that China was turning to Argentina for the crop instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMeanwhile, the Trump Administration is providing Argentina with a $20 billion currency swap in order to stave off a financial crisis in the South American nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WIS Politics:<\/strong><\/a> DNC ad targets Steil, Van Orden over tariffs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 [10\/15\/2025]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DNC has launched a new ad hitting GOP U.S. Reps. Bryan Steil and Derrick Van Orden on tariffs and their impact on farmers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ad features Illinois soybean farmer John Bartman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Farming\u2019s hard enough as it is this year, especially because of the tariffs that have been put upon us. This is really putting a major strain on all farmers right now,\u2019 Bartman says. \u2018We don\u2019t want a bailout, we want a market. Bailouts are BandAids. What he is doing is destroying our markets, and when those markets disappear, we\u2019re not going to get them back.\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe spot will target farmers and \u2018rural persuadable voters\u2019 in the 1st and 3rd CDs, running on farmer-focused YouTube and TV channels. A DNC spokesperson said the ad is part of a five-figure buy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minnesota Reformer<\/strong><\/a>: Walz, other Dems criticize Trump over trade war\u2019s impact on soy farmers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Madison McVan, 10\/14\/2025]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Donald Trump\u2019s trade war is having devastating consequences for soybean farmers, and Gov. Tim Walz joined other national Democratic leaders on a call Tuesday to highlight the story of one Illinois farmer whose business model is under threat from tariffs and international retaliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018It\u2019s going to take us years to get these markets back,\u2019 Walz said Tuesday, calling on Trump to walk back his tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Trump administration is considering a multibillion dollar bailout for American soy farmers, similar to how his administration handled the first trade war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut soy farmers have insisted that a check won\u2019t make up for the lost marketing opportunities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018We don\u2019t want a bailout. We want markets for our crops,\u2019 said John Bartman, a corn and soybean farmer in Illinois. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBartman is featured in a new Democratic political ad, part of a new ad campaign targeting red districts in the Midwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTuesday\u2019s press call coincided with Trump\u2019s meeting with Argentina\u2019s President Javier Milei. Trump has promised a $20 billion bailout of Argentina\u2019s economy \u2014 which stands to benefit many Trump administration allies \u2014 drawing even more ire from the soybean industry and some Republicans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fence Post<\/strong><\/a>: Dems criticize Trump on trade as he meets with Millei of Argentina<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Jerry Hagstrom, 10\/15\/2025]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThree Democrats \u2014 Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Sharice Davids, and Illinois farmer John Bartman \u2014 held a video news conference Tuesday to criticize President Trump\u2019s trade policy that has led China to boycott U.S. soybeans, and urged Congress to come back to Washington to open the government and develop an aid package for farmers this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[…] <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWalz said the Republicans are engaged in \u2018the undermining of the rural economy in general,\u2019 with rural hospitals not getting the federal aid they need and the Education Department not funding programs that give people \u2018the opportunity to succeed.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDavids said tariffs \u2018can be a useful tool when they are used responsibly,\u2019 but that the Trump administration is taking a \u2018reckless\u2019 approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe added that tariffs are raising the cost of inputs farmers need to import. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018American farmers are caught in the middle,\u2019 Davids said. \u2018Some farmers are talking about reducing production or considering switching crops while others are talking about selling equipment,\u2019 she said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBartman said \u2018farmers don\u2019t like to talk politics,\u2019 but \u2018I saw the effects of bad agricultural policy in the Reagan years.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Let\u2019s be clear \u2014 this is a man-made disaster caused by Trump and his administration,\u2019 Bartman said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WJFW<\/strong><\/a>: Farmers struggling with Trump administration’s trade war <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Christopher Bushong, 10\/14\/2025]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cChina is now buying soybeans from Argentina, the same country the Trump administration agreed to send $20 billion to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis has upset farmers like John Bartman, owner of Bartman Farm in Illinois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018MAGA now stands for Make Argentina Great Again,\u2019 Bartman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccording to the University of Illinois, the average grain farmer will lose about $100 per acre this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Why? Because there\u2019s nearly one billion\u2026 one billion, bushels of soybeans that don\u2019t have a home right now,\u2019 Bartman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Trump administration is considering giving $10- to $15 billion in aid to American farmers, but Bartman says that\u2019s not the answer he was hoping for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018A bailout is like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound,\u2019 Bartman said. \u2018Government bailout does not make up for our loss of income. We don\u2019t want a bailout \u2014 we want markets for our crops.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fiscal Times<\/strong><\/a>: Democrats Blast Trump\u2019s $20 Billion Argentina Bailout <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Yuval Rosenberg, 10\/14\/2025]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDemocrats have blasted the bailout, using it to mock Trump\u2019s \u2018America First\u2019 promises and attack the administration for the government shutdown. \u2018I have just one question,\u2019 Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the Senate floor. \u2018If this administration has $20 billion to spare for a MAGA-friendly foreign government, how can they say we don\u2019t have the money to lower healthcare costs here at home?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts on Tuesday sought unanimous consent to pass the \u2018No Argentina Bailout Act.\u2019 When her request was blocked by Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, Warren unleashed a tirade against the administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Even while the Trump administration is trying to fire more people and shut down more services, Trump is carefully keeping open the office at the Treasury Department responsible for executing his bailout of Argentina\u2019s financial markets,\u2019 Warren said. \u2018For Trump, the leader of Argentina is more important than American families struggling with rising costs for health care.\u2019\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Politico, the ads focus on the Trump Administration\u2019s tariff strategy and the impact on soybean farmers. This is one of the DNC\u2019s first major ad buys ahead of the midterm elections.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNational Democrats launched more political ads targeting Congressional Republicans Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Ashley Hinson and Zach Nunn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ad criticizes President Donald Trump’s trade policy and tariffs and will run on farmer focused YouTube and TV channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018The reality is, is these Republicans are complicit,\u2019 Ken Martin the DNC Chair said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018They could stand up to Donald Trump right now and tell him to end these tariffs and to actually open the markets around the world to create trading partners for your number one industry which is agriculture.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Broadcast<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MSNBC:<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>\u201cWe told you earlier about how Donald Trump hosted the right-wing president of Argentina at the White House to discuss a $20 billion U.S. bailout to that country amidst a growing farm crisis here at home. And so the Democratic National Committee released a new ad about how Trump\u2019s trade war is hurting farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN:<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>Rep. Sharice Davids: \u201cFarmers like a lot of Kansans right now are actually struggling to make ends meet. You know, folks are struggling with higher costs on everything from gas to groceries, and farmers have been dealing with higher input prices. You know, things like fertilizer and seeds and that sort of thing, and the uncertainty that has been caused by Trump’s, frankly, reckless approach to tariff policy has only exacerbated all of those issues. We’ve got farmers, especially, you know, Kansas is one of the highest, producing and exporting states for soybeans, and right now, you know, even though we absolutely need to be competitive with China, but they are a huge consumer of Kansas soybeans and markets, it takes it takes sometimes decades to build up these markets and just like that Donald Trump has called into question the ability of so many of US farmers, including Kansas farmers, to be able to sell their products internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CNN:<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>\u201cSoybean farmers across the United States are grappling with higher costs and lower demand as a result of President Trump\u2019s ongoing trade wars. Rather than pay the increased prices with tariffs, major markets such as China are looking elsewhere for the commodity \u2014 in countries in South America. While they seem more than happy to step in and fill the void, that includes countries such as Argentina, whose president met with Trump just yesterday to discuss a possible $20 billion bailout \u2014 a move that farmers say will directly benefit their competition overseas. […] John Bartman is a soybean farmer whose family has been working Illinois land since before the Civil War. Here in Marengo, a farming community where the land and sky feel endless, John sees a crisis on the horizon.\u201d  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KMSP (FOX):<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>\u201cGovernor Walz today blasting President Trump’s trade policy, saying they are devastating America’s farmers. His remarks came as part of a weekly media call with the Democratic National Committee. […] In fact, tomorrow, Governor Walz will visit a soybean farm in southern Minnesota to keep highlighting this issue \u2014 one that Democrats say is a devastating trade policy and one that bailouts for farmers won’t fix. \u2018What we’re asking for is end these trade wars, give our farmers an opportunity to succeed.\u2019 And Governor Walz, his words were very pointed, saying American farmers, particularly soybean farmers, are in deep trouble. Tariffs placed on China are the reason all of those things are at threat because of Donald Trump’s ego. \u2018This is a ridiculous trade war. And as you heard it laid out, you couldn’t write this and be more messed up than putting these tariffs on \u2014 putting our farmers at risk, our family farms at risk.\u2019 According to the USDA, China purchased over $12 billion in soybeans from U.S. farmers in 2024 \u2014 far more than any other farm export \u2014 and continued buying until May of this year. But after tariffs took effect, well, since then, none \u2014 instead heavily investing in Argentina and Brazil. \u2018We’ve got to get something done. I mean, we don’t have time. This is just stupid. It’s just stupid.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WKYT (CBS):<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>\u201cChina is the largest buyer of American soybeans, but tariffs on Chinese goods have resulted in zero U.S. sales during this crop year. Earlier this year, President Trump implemented a 20% tariff on soybean exports, and due to that tariff, China\u2019s turned to Brazil and Argentina for soybeans. Democratic National Convention Chairman Ken Martin reached out to WKYT to talk about those tariffs. He says the tariffs are destroying American farms, and it\u2019s a ripple effect in the economy. \u2018What ends up happening is, of course, when American farmers are hurt, the rural economies that exist in these small towns \u2014 the small-town restaurant ends up closing, right, because there\u2019s no income left anymore in those communities. The small-town banks and clinics and hospitals end up closing. You can go down the list. It just decimates rural economies. When we see the impact on our agricultural industry, like what we\u2019re seeing right now \u2014 this is the worst farm crisis we\u2019ve seen since the early 1980s.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KMSP-MIN (FOX):<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>\u201cGovernor Tim Walz heavily criticizing President Trump’s Tariffs today, saying they are destroying American farmers. And the comments came during a DNC press call joined by a soybean farmer who said anticipated federal bailouts for farmers are simply a band-aid. <\/strong>[…] \u2018I am deeply concerned because I think the thing we need to keep in mind is it took decades to establish these markets. China didn’t just sign one year contracts with Argentina. They signed some of them up to a decade long. And it’s going to take us years to get these markets back.\u2019\u201d 
WJFW (NBC):<\/strong><\/a> \u201cChina is now buying soybeans from Argentina, the same country the Trump administration agreed to send $20 billion. This has upset farmers like John Bartman, owner of Bartman Farm in Illinois. \u2018MAGA now means make Argentina great again. According to the University of Illinois, the average grain farmer will lose $100 an acre in the city. Why? Because there’s nearly 1 billion bushels of soybeans that don’t have a home right now.\u2019 The Trump administration is considering 10 to $15 billion in aid to American farmers. But Bartman says that’s not the answer he was hoping for. \u2018A bailout is like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound. Government bailouts do not make up for our loss of income.
