China bought 3 million - or maybe just 300,000 metric tons - of US soy so far. They're supposedly going to purchase 12 million but not sure when. China purchased 25-30 million metric tons in the past. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/09/t...

A half-competent geopolitical strategist would be able to make China's predatory export-manufacture behavior a source of unity and cooperation. Instead, the Trump Administration has instigated a nasty trade-war with every single country in the world. And made China look good by comparison.

Trump is going to dump tens of $ billions in payments for huge commodity farmers to compensate for huge losses they will suffer from his idiotic trade war. Meanwhile, small farmers growing for local markets will get nothing. Just canceled grants and "thoughts and prayers". wapo.st/3YXdAbU

Like many of his rural neighbors in northeast Kansas, Jacob Thomas is trying to compensate for deep losses in federal funding. There’s worry and anger.
