“We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. “We wanna encourage the administration to get a proactive trade deal done.”
If you’re desperate, you’re well beyond the “proactive” stage…

I had to pipe in this old post from August 6th 2019
"Chinese companies have stopped buying U.S. agricultural products, China's Commerce Ministry said on Tuesday, a blow to U.S. farmers who have already seen their exports slashed by the more than year-old trade war.
American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall called the announcement from China "a body blow to thousands of farmers and ranchers who are already struggling to get by."
China imported $9.1 billion of U.S. farm produce in 2018 - mainly soybeans Sc1, dairy, sorghum and pork LHc1 - down from $19.5 billion in 2017, according to the American Farm Bureau.
Your Dumbfuck-In-Chief, folks. I'm sure someone has a clever retort involving emails, or pocahontas, or shithole countries."
So... Soy products are about to become cheaper? I'm down for some tofu.

They knew this was coming before the planting season, too. Now, they may have already used their loans on soy, as I'm not sure about the time frame on when their orders would be placed, but they still could have minimized the loss with reduced planting. This is how incredibly stupid these people are. They've known since last November he was elected and what his plans were.

Most soy goes to livestock feed, and most of that goes to poultry.
Only 20% goes to human consumption, with most of that going to oil.

Weird. I seem to remember the orange idiot they voted for starting a pointless trade war with China (and the rest of the world)? That's why we're all paying more for less...
