US election: Trucking and farming

BBC World Service - BBC OS Conversations, US election: Trucking and farming

Truck drivers and farmers talk about the past four years of Trump presidency

Nuala McGovern speaks with truck drivers and farmers in the United States as they share their thoughts on how their lives and livelihoods have been under the past four years of the Trump presidency. 
 
Wisconsin is known as America’s Dairyland. It’s an important state in this election, where the vote could go either way, and where more than one in ten of the electorate are farmers. Three farmers in Wisconsin explain how trade deals by the US have impacted what happens on their farms and how that affects their votes this time. 

And three truckers -Michael in Arizona, Pat in Indianapolis and Sunny in California -  describe what they have seen driving across the country over the past four years. For some of them, the coronavirus pandemic had led to an upturn in their business prospects.
