Farmer John Boyd, 53, of Baskerville, Va., is facing a double calamity: tariffs have sunk the prices of crops like soybeans. But financial relief from the federal government hasn’t come because the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture is closed. Subscribe to The Washington Post on KZfaq: bit.ly/2qiJ4dy

Did what? This video is very misleading and disingenuous. Mr Boyd was closing on a new farm purchase last week - a multi-million dollar acquisition of extremely coveted farm, timber, and lakefront property - 560 acres. How he went from having the resources to do that to being so broke he needs a check from the government to buy winter cover crop seeds is a bit of a mystery to me and some others in the area.
