THREAD: It's been less than a week since @michellefischb announced her run for Congress, yet it's already painfully obvious how out-of-touch she is with Minnesota farmers. #MN07

This interview makes it clear that Fischbach is not up to the job of representing western Minnesota.
In it, Fischbach "struggles answering Heitkamp's questions about the price of soybeans, MFP payments, as well as whether or not she explicitly supports Trump's tariffs."
It gets worse:
"Going further, Heitkamp asks Fischbach if she knows what the breakout was in terms of payments for what soybean and corn farmers receive. Fischbach answers, 'I don't know off the top of my head.'"
Yikes:
"Agriculture is the driving force for the economy in the 7th... and knowing commodity prices is crucial...when asked by Heitkamp if she knows what the price per bushel currently is for soybeans and corn, Fischbach mentions she didn't look this morning and did not know..."
For the record, @michellefischb, farmers in the area are selling soybeans for roughly $7.64 per bushel and corn for roughly $3.19 per bushel. #MN07
