@Lana@beige.party There are some that are legitimately rich. Many more are land rich, capital & cash flow poor...mortgaged to the gills for equipment, seed, fertilizer, and the land. It's been really crap the last few years with the loss of export markets, fertilizer & chemicals going through the roof. It's put a lot of farmers up against the wall. I was in what used to be a very red-hat burger place a couple of weeks ago, watching an old guy handing out fliers for Schoffner, who's running against Cotton. He didn't convince everyone there, but they were definitely listening. He probably is one or two more bad seasons from having to go chapter 12 on around 20k acres. There's lots more like him, and they swing a lot of opinion in the outlying counties. Is arkansas going to go blue? Very unlikely. Is it going to change the mind of the wannabe manosphere influencer running a crossfit gym next to the dollar general? Definitely not. Will it be enough to change the outcome of some races? I think so.
