Minnesota farmers struggle to stay afloat as China boycotts U.S. soybeans

They’re not the only ones.
Farmers in Nebraska are hurting too.

 

Probably should go into the politics forum. No way to discuss this topic without politics being discussed.

Personally I think the farmers got just what they asked for…therefore I will shed not one tear.

 

Yes growing concerns with major Transport companies filing for Bankruptcy in 2025 including Yellow, and Carroll Fulmer, Trump posts on Twitter last Friday having markets drop some 4 % two thirds of the trading day, with the bulls entering late in trading to pick up some bargains for the trading close. Vegas doing it tough with 300 000 less people traveling to the Casino capital in July, sure sign things are not going well, makes a person wonder is the government really being honest with the figures or are they fudging the numbers to make things seem better than what they really are?

 

There is a surplus down here this year. Co-op’s can’t take product because the silos are still full from last year. Just about everyone down here had to truck the loads straight to the Corpus Christi or Houston ports from the field. That takes time. Makes for a long harvest time. Most guys got one smaller than usual crop in and now everyone is cutting and bailing up the rest for livestock and horse feed.

 

Simple solution, find another use for soybeans. AI has to use lots of soybeans for something. Then next year plant a different crop.
