A screenshot of a plain white text block styled as a quoted message, attributed to Chuck Grassley, addressed to President Trump. The message urges Trump to help American farmers the way he helped pharmaceutical consumers, alleging that American companies selling seed, fertilizer, and chemicals overseas (particularly to Brazil) at steep discounts are overcharging American farmers — citing a 68% premium on corn seed prices paid by American farmers versus Brazilian buyers. It suggests pressuring these companies could avoid the need to appropriate $11 billion in farmer aid ("bridge" payments), asks Trump to study the issue and announce something even before negotiating, and closes with a thank-you from "the American farmer."
Text in image: From Chuck Grassley
President Trump I ask you to do for American farmers what you have done for consumers of pharmaceutical products. The situation is this. American companies that produce seed fertilizer and chemicals are selling their products overseas and particularly Brazil at great discounts unfair to the American farmer. In the case of corn seed, American farmers are paying a 68% premium over what is paid in Brazil. It is easy to see that if you put pressure on these companies like you did the pharmaceutical companies you wouldn't need to appropriate $11 billion to farmers for bridge. Please study this if you find an injustice to the American farmer announce something shortly even if you can't negotiate right away. A very big thank you from the American farmer.
