12,000 tons of pork
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!
Have you seen the high-rise hog farms they have built and are building in China? Quite literally, they are 20+ story hog farms with hundreds of thousands of pigs in one building. (seems like GREAT idea when for things like swine flu...)
China 26-story hog farms
They are also going around and smashing small farm operations like G-men smashing up stills. Can't have people getting all uppity and trying to feed their own family, now.
Can you imagine the stench? Can you imagine the sound? Can you imagine the effluent in the water supply? Yummy.

The global backlash to President Trump’s tariffs is punishing U.S. agriculture, especially a decline in Chinese buying of U.S. farm products.
Looks like they will have to lower their prices and sell more to us customers.
Too bad.

They need to chill out. Give those chongers a while to get hungry/hangry.

But muh tariffs. Commodities are just down due to oversupply and weaker demand.
Correct. Market sucks and inputs and expenses have done nothing but increase over the last three years due to inflation. Recipe for disaster.
Since tariffs stuff cotton actually increased from futures low of $0.62/lb to now at almost $0.68/lb. That really sucks, but illustrates it’s not the tariffs that are the problem.

I’d like to know that too. You responded to yourself, after all.

The U.S., on balance, has a stronger economy than China, but with an unnecessary trade war, we’re taking an unnecessary risk. It’s nuts…

fricking welfare queens. Between subsidizing their losses and creating artificial market for ethanol, they should quit bitching about tariffs

Ridiculous. You folks don’t know shite and you’re as bad as the libs.
If we have to subsidy anything, how about the folks that provide us food? How about that?

I understand what you say, but I guess my bigger picture viewpoint is, even if the situation presented itself someday where it was deemed a “necessary risk” (such as Taiwan), why have we allowed ourselves to reach a point where there’s any level of financial “risk” to consider when it comes to dealing with a gigantic communist country?
I can’t imagine us ever having put ourselves in such a situation with the old Soviet Union, at any time.
But because the CCP has smartly put a seemingly friendly “capitalist/business” mask on its face, we’ve been lulled into approaching them differently.

Here either. We should fill up on inexpensive gas and go drive around to see if we can find some empty shelves.

Smithfield is the largest pork producer in the world. The Chinese bought them in 2013, making them one of the largest overseas owners of US farmland.

Piss on China and the farming hating progressives in this thread and our country. You can’t farm or ranch without those evil fossil fuels.
Posted on 4/28/25 at 7:42 pm to Seldom Seen
I have a healthy respect for farmers/ranchers but they can whine with teachers and nurses all day, any day

They can and do but subsidies come with strings attached that most small farms aren’t large enough to produce a tangible amount. Meaning 25 acres of corn for ethanol isn’t enough to waste the equipment on but 500 or 1000 acres is

Soybean lobby has been lobbying the govt to increase the amount of soy oil used in biodiesel production in order to increase demand for soybeans. Two new crush mills are coming online in the Midwest
I hope it happens. Because increased crush to get soy oil means it creates a byproduct of soybean meal. Soybean meal is used to make cattle, poultry, and catfish feed. There is already a glut of meal on the market and this will make it worse, The result? Very cheap soybean meal meaning cheap feed meaning deltaland rakes in the money when fish prices are about to go up due to a shortage of catfish in a few months due to a bad hatch industry wide last spring. The crush mills are begging the feed mills to take meal, even if they have to hold it on site on rail car due to storage bins being full. But we aren’t taking any more than necessary to fill feed orders. Drive that price into the ground

Gordon Chang's thoughts
I see this man talking a lot about China for years, wonder what some of the rest of you think of him.
Has China really stopped collecting tariffs on some "important" goods? That would be something Trump may be keeping quiet while negotiating and heaven knows our limp dick media wouldn't report it if it is happening.
