The Chinese saw the stupidity of punishing their people with tariffs on pork and soybeans.

Maybe they will buy as much as they were before Trump started this fight.

Maybe our government will quit punishing us soon.

Or maybe South America couldn't supply them and now parts of Brazil are in a drought and they can't get their crops planted on time

Swine Flu has also spread to South Korea and Russia and before long will be in Europe. Major world pork shortage coming up

Hopefully we are not a supplier of last resort.

The largest pork producer in the US is Chinese owned so maybe they have some influence.

I suspect the trumpians here will give up pork now that they know their money had been going to China.

So can we end the $28B farm bailouts that are nearing 3x the auto bailout?

United Fruit,

Liquidity is becoming a big issue. Not only are they no longer buying foreign assets, so far this year they have sold more than they sold last year.

The ponzi scheme is really going to come to a head now that foreign capital has dried up.

It is the reason they are cutting back on belt and road AND they dont dare do another big huge dump of cash onto the market like they did three years ago.....they dont have it. That 3 trillion they supposedly have in US cash is far less, and it will dry up quickly as they try and keep the yuan from falling through the basement.

That almost makes the feral hog problem at my farm seem like a good thing.

Almost.

Read something a few months ago saying almost the same thing. Said China was in a tough spot when it comes to soybeans.

The U.S. is the only country who can meet their demands. Brazil is another big producer but their production of soybeans is dwarfed by what America produces.

Brazil on its own, couldn't meet what China wants or needs
