So... Soy products are about to become cheaper? I'm down for some tofu.

Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions...
“We desperately need to get something rectified quickly with China, our biggest export customer,” he told CNN. “We wanna encourage the administration to get a proactive trade deal done.”
If you’re desperate, you’re well beyond the “proactive” stage…
Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha..
Sorry I meant..
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
dint china already find other suppliers like venuzeula, brazil, and other SOUTH east asian country.
Yep that demand is never coming back. Happens when you continually fling shit at a trading partner.

They voted for it.
Have the day you voted for 😘
How all the soy boy beta cucks working for this administration will sound this winter while trying to reassure Americans we don't need to resort to cannibalism just yet bc we still have an insane surplus of unprocessed soy beans we have to do something with.
I say this as a vegetarian. I'm kinda looking forward to hearing what kind of propaganda these people will spin to explain the sudden 180. "Awkshully, soy has always been one of the most hyper masculine protein sources available in the western hemisphere."
Maybe if you do nothing and just let the crops rot they will auto ferment into blocks of tofu?
They will likely dump the crops in the ocean to keep prices stable like they do with many other surpluses. One of the worst things about capitalism, instead of trying to feed the poor or do something useful with it

Weird. I seem to remember the orange idiot they voted for starting a pointless trade war with China (and the rest of the world)? That's why we're all paying more for less...

Damn, you know what would've been a good trade deal? Not touching anything and just letting it be instead of the tariffs.

They knew this was coming before the planting season, too. Now, they may have already used their loans on soy, as I'm not sure about the time frame on when their orders would be placed, but they still could have minimized the loss with reduced planting. This is how incredibly stupid these people are. They've known since last November he was elected and what his plans were.
Bootstraps people, bootstraps
