But in terms of relative contributions, specifically agriculture’s contribution as a share of the total county’s economy, some of the most rural counties are most dependent upon agriculture including Lafayette, Taylor, and Trempealeau. [emphasis added]
Read up, Lafayette County. Trump is just not that into you.

David Brooks writes:
If America elected a populist as president, you would expect him to devote his administration to addressing these inequities, to boosting the destinies of working-class Americans. But that’s not what President Trump is doing. He seems to have no plans to narrow the education chasms, no plans to narrow the health outcome chasms or the family structure chasms. He has basically no plans to revive the communities that have been decimated by postindustrialization.
Why is that? The simplest answer is that Trump really seems not to give a crap about the working class. Trump is not a populist. He campaigns as a populist, but once he has power, he is the betrayer of populism. [emphasis added]
