From Barchart today
Exports higher compared to this time last year
But muh tariffs. Commodities are just down due to oversupply and weaker demand.

The soybean market showing 1 to 5 cents gains so far on Monday, fading off early weakness. CmdtyView’s national front month Cash Bean price is up 4 cents at $10.07. Soymeal futures are slipping back another $2/ton, with Soy Oil futures back up 76 points so far. USDA’s Export Inspections report indicated a total of 439,341 MT (16.14 mbu) of soybeans shipped in the week that ended on 4/24. That was down just 21.5% from the previous week but 59.1% above the same week in 2024. China was the top destination of 205,463 MT, with 61,071 MT headed to Mexico and 57,069 MT to Germany. Marketing year shipments have totaled 43.12 MMT (1.584 bbu), which is up 11.3% compared to the same week last year.

OMG
Canceled! A Seldom Seen existential crises!
According to the USDA, America produced 12.61 Million metric tons of pork in 2024.
Therefore China canceled about 0.0001, one thousandth of a percent!
Really?!

Regen farmers are doing just fine

My family farms 4000+ acres. I've not heard one mention anything of the sort

We just sold a load of cows an average of $3900/head. Somebody is eatin' beef. We even sold a cull bull for $100 less than we paid for it.
Tariffs haven't been the biggest issue, honestly. It's the stupid fricking war to preserve the piggy bank Ukraine that drove up fertilizer costs.

Sorry you hate democracy. The president has control of tariffs. The issue has been decided.
Trump has flailed, enacted, postponed, changed his tariff policies several times in the span of a couple of weeks. And don’t even get me started about his advisor’s inconsistent and contradictory narratives. It seems nothing has been decided at this point. Posted on 4/28/25 at 3:33 pm to Rip Torn

Let’s get a couple of things straight: the American farmer did this to themselves a long time ago when they became reliant on subsidies that the small farmer doesn’t get to farm corn and soybeans that the market doesn’t need or want. I can understand that they are upset but again it is self inflicted. Small farmers like my dad were pushed out of the market by corporations and now we are paying the price
Why don’t small farmers get subsidies?
Your dad might’ve been pushed out by corporations but it wasn’t farming corporations
It was Cargill, Bayer, JD, etc

Who did they interview? Farmers or corporations who own the farms and bend to China?

having a damaging affect on American businesses.
We have a huge department of lawyers to fight theft of intellectual property.
We spend all season having listings removed on Amazon and other sites.
We have to deal with retailers that copy our shite.
We have to raid factories in China that are stealing our IP.
We spend MILLIONS to ensure our products show up in search results instead of knockoffs.
We spend countless hours battling this. But yeah, tariffs are our problem?
Come on, it may suck arse now dealing with it, but it's for the greater good.

Every interview that I have watched from farmers has been nothing but positive and praise for what Trump is doing to help their industry so I am very confused

It is tough but, honestly, shouldn't the American market be enough for what you produce?
Second many US ag exports are products that we don’t consume here, or fetch higher prices in EMEA. Pork exports for example… there are… err.. less desirable parts of a
pig that US producers would simply have to waste, but they can sell in overseas markets for good prices. Since we make so few textiles, cotton farmers heavily depend on exports as well. I’m sure there are other examples. But. Ag is one area where the US exports still shine.

Oh, you believe this is a brilliant master plan by Trump. After some initial pain, we’re going to see an abundance of
manufacturing jobs, even though the costs of rebuilding will be astronomical and the jobs won’t be of a kind that will
match our workforce. Buckle up for a recession, boys. It’s likely on the way.
Trump talks a big game as he has since the 80’s, but he’s out of his depth, tbh.

These Armageddon type news items/threads only ever seem to reinforce the underlying notion that CCP has this country firmly by the gonads.
There’d never be any situation where we could truly risk pizzing off the Chinese communist party.
How in the world did this country manage to get itself in this precarious position in the first place?
Doesn’t seem to be a very favorable spot to be in.

We went from "Trump will bring the economy all the way back" to "we all have to make sacrifices" in a matter of months. That's one hell of a messaging shift.
The moral of the story is that campaigning is easy and actually governing is hard.

Campaign in the basement is even fricking easier!

Thanks! Appreciate it. Makes sense ... although I'm wondering with muslim growth if pork might be in trouble...

Which pork products are less desirable? Entrails?
