Minnesota soybean farmers can usually count on big
paychecks about this season, but this year, they’re deep in the red because
they’ve lost their biggest buyer due to trade war triggered by the idiot Trump’s
crazy tariffs. China usually buys $12-$13 billion in American soybeans each
year, but it’s now buying from Argentina and Brazil instead.
In the short term, most Minnesota soybean farmers
will harvest their crops and either sell them at a loss or pay to store them,
or a little of both. But they can only last so long with income at or near
zero.
China is a large country with a serious lack of cultivated land. After nearly 5,000 years of development, China has only about 100 million hectares of cultivated land. Therefore, grain crops must be given priority, such as wheat and rice. Therefore, the food imported into China is mainly soybean and corn, and their purpose is mainly for animal feed.
