High diesel prices ARE KILLING FARMERS INCOME. … W diesel $6.57 in Iowa why doesn't Pres Trump put an embargo on diesel exports like presidents in the 70s put embargoes on ag products bc food prices were inflated. … If our govt can embargo chips to China it can embargo diesel to help American farmers & truckers.
