Situation in Iowa: Farmers are losing money amidst rising costs

During his speech in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump announced the construction of a new $15 billion steel plant in Iowa, scheduled for Monday, September 28, 2026. Commenting on the congressional races in Iowa and the low ratings of local Republicans, Trump called the poll data "fake." He blamed the economic difficulties faced by the state's farmers and business owners on the actions of Democrats, while energy and fertilizer costs have increased significantly against the backdrop of the war in Iran.

At the same time, representatives of the agricultural sector and small business point to the dire economic situation. According to an Iowa farmer who spoke on MSNOW, trucking company owners and agricultural producers are suffering huge losses and urgently need a swift resolution to the arisen problems. Donald Trump himself expressed confidence in his high popularity and stated that he received more votes in the last election than anyone in history.
