Where I live some farmers switched much of their acreage from corn to soybeans because the government has promised to subsidize their soybean crops to offset the loss from tariffs.

Nonsense.

Crops are the very definition of a completely, completely fungible product.

The very definition itself.

If a population buys something from somewhere else, that OTHER market is sold. Meaning it needs to be replaced from somewhere else.

Completely fungible.

100%.

Tariffs are a tax on U.S. consumers.

*************************

There is the lie. Tariffs are a barrier to the products affected. Consumers will buy elsewhere.

Where were these complaining, heavily subsidized. farmers when the US government eliminated quotas and tariffs on manufactured goods resulting in a flood of subsidized foreign products and the demise of small to medium sized companies?

Likely too busy lobbying Congress and the Department of Agriculture for more subsidies.

So much for lives, fortunes, and sacred honor.

It’s not ask what you can do for your country; it’s tell the country what it better do for you.

Simple solution: they haven’t planted soybeans yet, so plant fewer and drive the price up. Less expenditure for the same money or more.

“”” Atchison County, my small farming community in northwest Missouri, is home to about 5,000 people. One hundred thousand acres of soybeans are planted here each year. “””

all their eggs in one basket?

Has the ground dried out enough to even plant? This county has had roads and train tracks washed out. It has not been but a few weeks the concerns were the ability to move soybeans already in storage. Wet soybeans in storage swell up and split the storage bins. More to this than itching over tariffs. This county has already been declared a disaster.

All these kinds of stories are nonsense. Soybean prices had spiked for a few years and right now they’re more normal.

The squawking is being done by a few big traders with sweetheart deals with China. Other markets are out there.

Ongoing flooding of some prime crop land is likely to keep prices stable or rising.

Two things here” A) since when does the Wall Street Journal care about Flyoveria? B) Trump said this and is working to straighten it out. What else do you have?

The major hypocrisy here is that, without exception, most of the anti tariff traitors are also deficit hawks. The tariffs will generate $150B/yr in direct revenue to the US treasury and very much help "balnce the budget" Hypocrites all.

The media wouldn’t be biased would it????

Tell the farmers to call a Wambulance.

Grow extra Ethanol instead.

A ‘flood warning’ remains in effect in Atchison County, until Tuesday morning. Soybeans do not grow like rice, even if any seeds got planted this spring.
