Farmers will sell their land to someone with more money.
More consolidation is what this country needs. /s

Sketchy ass site.
There is a Snopes page about it.
I saw that they claimed that. Real news sources provide their sources, they don’t just say somebody else said stuff (which is what the entire article is doing).
https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/10/08/jd-vance-acretrader/
I’m not asking for the source. I understand how to search myself. I’m stating that, no matter how accurate this article might be if you go and look up the info yourself, you shouldn’t trust websites that say things like “it’s reported” and then don’t provide links or sources. I can say all I want that “Snopes says ‘trump eats babies’ is a fact”. If I don’t link that source, as a news website you should not trust me. There’s no reason to exclude it, except to normalize not providing your sources and then later on you can slip in whatever bullshit you want because now nobody has a source to check when you state things.
Snopes provides multiple sources.
You are completely ignoring my point. The sketchy site that doesn’t provide sources is timesnownews.
Ohhh. I didn't trust that sketchy site either.
that page must really be sketchy!
I knew I should have edited my post!
