American farmers need to either find another market or find something else to plant. Being at the mercy of the Chinese is not where we want to be.

China’s a big consumer. Buying from other countries just leaves the customers of those countries coming to the US for product.

This is hysteria driven by companies with sweetheart deals selling to China. The overall world demand doesn’t change.

I read somewhere maybe here that the US controls 50% of all the soybean market in the world. Corn and wheat? Don't know. But I would say the US is the "OPEC" of grain production on this planet. If China buys it's grain from somewhere else that will leave a gap we can fill.

The Chinese can't feed it's people they, have to buy grain from somewhere.
