“The Chinese promise to buy at least 25 million metric tons of soybeans annually for next three years will bring their purchases back in line with where they were before President Donald Trump launched his trade war with China in the spring. But the 12 million metric tons that China plans to buy between now and January is only about half the typical annual volume.”
“… don’t want to sound like a ungrateful farmer, but it doesn’t cure everything in the short term.”
“ crazy” that everyone is getting so excited about this deal when all it does is get farmers back to where they were before this trade war began.”
“ I don’t know why you would go to war on trade if you didn’t expect you could get a better outcome in the end,”
“ Indiana farmer Brent Bible said this deal with China sounds good— as long as they actually do what they promised, unlike what happened with the trade agreement China signed with the United States in 2020 after Trump’s initial trade war.”
