Executive Order: Farmers Convert Unsold Tariff Soybeans to Beanbag Chairs
“As the #1 export crop for the U.S., soybean producers face huge, disproportionate impacts from trade flow disruptions, particularly to China, which is our largest market. And we know foreign soybean producers in Brazil and other countries are expecting abundant crops this year and are primed to meet any demand stemming from a renewed U.S.-China trade war. Soybean farmers still have not fully recovered market volumes from the damaging impacts of the 2018 trade war, and this will further exacerbate economic hardship on our farmers.”
Trump’s $12 billion aid to farmers is not a bailout; it’s a severance package if his tariffs continue.
