soybeans

Soybeans are Tennessee’s number one crop, and China has been, by far, their number one buyer. But that changed when Trump announced heavy tariffs against them earlier this year — right in the middle of harvest season.

The president of the American Soybean Association says the $12 billion payments will help farmers, but will not make up for the harms caused by trade wars and increased costs.

As Tennessee soybean farmers harvest their crop after a difficult growing season, they are facing a farm economy that resembles “death by a thousand cuts,” Tennessee Soybean Promotion Council Executive Director Stefan Maupin said.
