Did you know agricultural exports increased in 2018????

For all the media hysteria, I thought all the farmers had gone bankrupt in the midwest due to our farm policies.
Jan to October versus year ago, the total value of exports were up 4%, and in October up 18%.
All the focus has been on soybeans to china (though much of that was transhipped through Brazil), but soybeans are only down 10%, and many other products more than make up the shortfall.
I also find it childish that the media never links the farmers financial issues with the fact there was a little flooding this year, no its trade policies, orange man bad.

The funny thing about commodities is if someone stops buying our products and buys from someone else, the people who were buying from that producer will now need somewhere else to buy from.

Funny how that works aint it? Those friggin soybeans we lost the sale on to chini and suddenly Brazil increased their sales by 100s of metric tons, oh really? Those things left the Gulf Coast as usual, we sold to Brazil, they sold to China and the shipment arrived in chini like normal.

FRED GRAPH! i'm so glad you posted that. keepin it real on the pt. "no you didn't" 90proof cheering for the us economy to implode.
china's economy is soaring. us economy in the tank. americans income is sinking. us unemployment at an all time high. us manufacturing has bottomed out. stock market crashing. all because of those evil tariffs. ib was right all along.

why? you seem to be completely immune to interpreting data correctly and all you're doing is showing it off proudly

you didn't even read my response. figures. there's a reason why your nickname is "no you didn't"

Soybean prices were in the tank before tariffs.
It’s due to Brazil increasing production and expanding acreage

i read your response, and it was entirely nonresponsive and in fact qualifies as an incoherent melt
i mean don't get me wrong though, i enjoyed reading you melt over your own feeble strawman
