This tariff, Bacus says, is actually on top of other levies that the Chinese government had already put in place that the industry has managed to live with all along.

Do we(the little people) really know what is in these "free" trade agreements?
It's cheaper to the US to help farmers make up the difference than it is to finance the 100s of billions in the trade gap.
Republic Steel in Ohio is reopening shuttered steel plants due to a marked increase in steel orders.
There are also over 100 new jobs for Americans at Whole Foods in Massillon since they were raided and rounded up that many illegal aliens.

Great! How soon do we farmers head over to our local Farm Service agency to sign up for another farm program to bail us out? Again.
But first will all the Senators and Representatives and the bone head in the WH be willing to draw plans up for this "help" for farmers and rural America?
Seems odd that foreign countries understand the importance that American Agriculture has on the economy and yet the gov't chooses to take US farmers to the whipping post again and again. Sad.
The folly of a trade war. You got to be kidding me. The prior 3 administrations have outsourced our entire middle-class, 150 million jobs. That is why this country is hurting. All to fatten the bottom line of corporate America. The divide between rich and poor has never been greater. Trump needs to double or triple down. The deficit is $350 billion against us. Take the trade war as far as you have to until the trade deficit numbers get cut in half. Finally, someone in our corner. Make our allies, if we have any, pay for their defense. Get rid of career politicians. Put in place term limits. Get rid of dual passport holders. Take America back. Keep the muzzies out,there is no integration with Moslems. Let the clusterfuck going on in Europe, stay in Europe. Merkel is drowning in her open immigration policies. Frankly, if you were to hang 150 people today for trying to unseat a sitting president, you might avoid a war which will cost 10 million lives. Have to get rid of the rot in the system.
It's a good thing we have been exporting as much grain as we have or our deficit would be even worse. But jobs are ALREADY coming back.
Fresh Mark has some openings for US citizens. There are people in Massillon that need jobs. That is one city that cannot afford to have illegal aliens working jobs that Massillon residents need.

Trump announced tariffs on March 1...since then cash soybeans have gone from $9.71 on Mar. 1 to $7.95 on June 28. That translates into a reduction of $1.76 per bushel or an 18% loss in equity.
Trump has thrown rural America under the bus and will continue to do so.
