Farmers got a boatload of payola first from the tariff $$, then for Corona harm.
When Trump started the trade war with China a few years back, China stopped buying beans.
My family’s farm got SLAMMED. It was very ugly.
Beans are good now, and covid did allow producers to change the mad contracts so they could have more leverage to sell ot other buyers. For instance, I have a cow, a few hogs, and a dozen farm bought chickens in the freezer.
