(NewsNation) — Ohio farmer Chris Gibbs believes the state of play for America’s agriculturalists has been negatively affected by President Donald Trump's tariffs.
Gibbs said farmers are taking major losses on top of U.S. commodities — like corn, soybeans and wheat — and it is putting them in a "hell of a mess."
"Farmers don't have the working capital they need, or the cash flow they need to continue to pay the high expenses that we're experiencing," Gibbs said on "Morning in America with Hena Doba."
Last week, Trump announced some tariff revenue would go to U.S. farmers, but no details about the amount of aid or how it would be dispersed have been made clear.
Gibbs called Trump's concept "the most ridiculous thing," as he and other farmers are already bearing the brunt of tariffs daily
