Major row crops, including corn, soybeans, cotton, and wheat, haven’t been profitable since at least 2022. “The morale in the farming industry, not just farmers, is the lowest I’ve ever seen,” says Franklin Carmack, a fifth-generation farmer. “Everybody’s on edge.” In the first six months of 2025, there were 57% more farm bankruptcies than d

American farmers have been holding out hope for relief, as they've been slammed with rising costs and uncertainty, partially because of import taxes. Soybean farms — caught in the middle of the trade war between the U.S. and China — are among the hardest hit. A tentative deal with China offers hope, but farmers are still hurting. For this week's 60 Minutes, Cecilia Vega traveled to West Tennessee to see the impact on family farms. | CBS Mornings

Nearly 80% of voters in what are called farming-dependent counties voted for President Trump in the last election.
