During a panel discussion with Rep. Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) at FarmFest, a rural Minnesota fair, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue tried to smooth over the angst in the room with a joke.
“What do you call two farmers in a basement? A whine cellar,” he said to a round of boos.
Farmers in the crowd did not find the joke funny, but it did inspire farmers watching from afar to share their own ag jokes on Twitter.
