    A local Iowa farmer killed themself recently due to the current state of affairs. I emailed Chuck Grassley to let him know that his constituents have started committing suicide thanks to his choices and those of his admin, and that he has literally blood on his hands. It’s not even bad out there for farmers yet, but it’s about to be, and that fear has been enough for people to give up.
