It is terrible for the farmers of any country to have a drought like this.

But WTF does “We will engage in surgical work and reach all the affected areas and farmers that need it the most” explained Yahuar” mean?????

Are the Argentinean govt going to cut the penis's off the farmers now?: they have already castrated the poor sods with the 'Fiscal Policy' and export shenanigans .

O gaga has spoken, so that's alright then.

Obviously O gaga understands the bollox that the Minister spouts. Must be an Argie thing, and there was me, giving some sympathy to the farmers - that will be the last time after O gaga's 'assholes' remark.

Typical greedy paisano prick!
Don't forget a few days ago, you were crying asking for subsidies at the government. The government doesn't owe you anything. Get over it.

Get this on your thick retarded skull. You are not what makes this country go round. You can stick your ''El País vive gracias al campo'' up your ass.

I wonder how an Irishman knows anything about Soy or Corn farming?

60mm of rain will do nothing to help the crops when it is 42 during the day, it will all be evaporated in hours. Plus the ground is too parched to absorb the water. Plus Plus the corn crops are already gone and so is a lot of Soy.
One drought away from a whole economic collapse and the President still can't get out of bed. I hear her gross fat ugly son is very involved in day to day gov't now, funny I don't think he was elected? Are they a monarchy? Prince K? It's nice to be a dictator while things are going well..not so much when they start to collapse though.
