Crops are rotting in fields as Trump’s trade war bites US farmers

US farmers are struggling amid the global trade war.
American farmers are struggling to sell their products as tariffs introduced during the trade war between Washington and Beijing stifle demand.
In certain states, farmers are being forced into plowing their crops under — effectively burying them under soil in fields — as there is simply not enough storage room in storage facilities.
The problem is most acute for soybean farmers, as China generally buys around 60% of US soybeans, but purchases have basically stopped since tariffs began.
American farmers are struggling to find storage for crops that would usually be sold overseas, with some being forced to leave produce rotting in fields as a last resort, as the trade conflict between the US and China continues.
Farmers in various US states, farmers are being forced into plowing their crops under — effectively burying them under soil in fields — as there is not enough storage room in storage facilities, and they are unable to sell their products thanks to Chinese tariffs, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
All grain depots and silos are almost completely full, meaning farmers have to find their own storage solutions, or allow their crops to rot. Neither option is particularly palatable.
The problem is most acute for soybean farmers. China is the largest importer of soybeans in the world, but since the start of the trade war it has slapped US soybeans with a 25% tariff, and turned to Brazil in an attempt to meet domestic demand.
Chinese purchases generally make up around 60% of all US soybean exports, but those exports have practically stopped since the tariffs were introduced.
In Louisiana, as much as 15% of this year's soybean crop has been ploughed under, or is too damaged to sell, according to data analyzed by Louisiana State University staff and cited by Reuters.
There is some good news for farmers, however. Firstly, the Trump administration has started a programme of subsidies to try and lessen the impact of his trade war on US agriculture.
In August, the administration launched a $4.7 billion initial investment plan to help corn, cotton, dairy, hog, sorghum, soybean, and wheat farmers.
The program is slated to expand to as much as $12 billion. But according to Reuters, less than $900 million has been paid out so far. ...
The slump in agricultural trade with China will be hurting not only farmers but all residents of rural communities as spending dries up as farmers struggle to survive.
The farmers are tired of winning.

Soybean exports are down about 10% because of the Chinese drop. No big deal, the farmers will adjust. After all, the market is global, and "supply and demand" still works. SO if the US plants 10% or so less soybean crop next year the market will adjust. No big del
The Trade War with China to demand fairness is worth the small hit to farmers, they know its worth the inconvenience.
