Despite his support for Trump, Ragland has become increasingly vocal about the need for immediate trade resolution. “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.”

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.

Since November? LOL, Trump started a trade war with China during his first admin.

I'm aware of his first term. They knew he was reelected in November and therefore should have known the storm that was coming.

They're not smart enough to see patterns.

That was my point. They're too ignorant to even understand their own livelihood.
