Interesting study by UTIA’s Andrew Muhammad concerning how farmers’ bottom line could be affected by retaliatory tariffs.
This week is going to be beautiful! Our farmers will FINALLY get to be in the field so that means lots of farm equipment on the road. Be mindful, be safe, and share the road! #plant18

Soybean exports to China could drop dramatically if China chooses to impose a 25 percent tariff on U.S. soy. According to a Purdue University study, China’s soy imports from the U.S. would fall by 65%, & total U.S. soy exports would drop by 37% #RethinkTheTariffs @PurdueAgEcon
