Farmers hit by Hurricane Michael left without federal aid as Trump fumes over funds for Puerto Rico

In October, Hurricane Michael -- a category 5 weather event -- tore through the Southwestern US.

Michael reportedly left an estimated $25 billion in damages.

But the people impacted the most have yet to get relief, reports CNBC.

Farmers who lost their crop and sustained damage to their businesses have been left out to dry, as relief for Michael is tied up in a large disaster relief package in Congress, as lawmakers fight over aid to Puerto Rico.

Greg Mims, a farmer in southwestern Georgia, described his ongoing ordeal to CNBC.

He had to rebuild his irrigation system -- with no aid from the federal government. "“Agriculture is the only thing that is really going on in our little rural community,” Mims said. “It would help tremendously if we could get some type of financial aid.”

As he often does, President Donald Trump weighed in on Twitter.

"“The Dems don’t want farmers to get any help,” he tweeted. “Puerto Rico should be very happy and the Dems should stop blocking much needed Disaster Relief!” he wrote.

But the legislation is likely to stall for the foreseeable future. Farmers like Mims are collateral.

“You get to the point where you’re thinking, ‘I don’t think we’re going to see anything out of it,’” Mims told CNBC. “It may be even past frustration and more, I guess, hopeless.”
