Why are they unable to sell the harvest, Senator?

China has already found a different, more reliable source for soybeans. Sorry.

Thune: "We've got a big harvest coming in here in South Dakota, corn and soybeans, and no place to go with it ... we are looking at potential solutions to make sure we can help support farmers until some of those markets come back."

Why are they unable to sell the harvest, Senator?

Every tariff is the fault of Congress. Every trade disruption because of tariff bullshit is the fault of Congress.

Every farmer in SD with no soybean orders from China is the fault of Thune. Wake up dumbasses, you played yourselves!

Entirely thanks to Trump. First in 2018 and now today. He is destroying the American economy in a way that will have lasting effects.

because there are no farm workers to pick the produce. The farmers are farming and produce is being produced but if it can't get to market and there are no markets, the farmers are growing for nothing but aggravation.

What a waste and a shame. This food could help thousands, but Chump's cruelty and stupidity do nothing but hurt.

Xi has been to U.S. farm country at least twice to boost agricultural ties mainly for soybeans. And then came your your Tariff Idiot and China looked elsewhere. Bailouts help in the short term but they don't replace markets.
