What made me think of this -

China is a master at market manipulation.

Sources say that China cannot sustain this action without harming their own interests. Pretty important to secure a food supply for 1.4 billion hungry stomachs. Will they risk causing domestic social unrest in their efforts to hurt the US?

Trump knows this.

As someone else asked, is there another source for those beans? Not very quickly, and not as reliably.

So I'm not convinced that this action is sustainable, but what would I know.

One thing is for sure - this shows how ugly things can get. And fast.

Either Go big or go home. Downsize and find niche markets. Has worked for many. Eliminates the parasites to.

....Trump knows this......

Doubtful - I don't think he knows his ass from his elbow.

That’s pretty good Grassy but Trudeau belongs on the other shoulder.

Ask yourself if anything is S&D or S/U have changed..... politics affecting grain prices now along with intentions, speculation and expectations.....

Do these trade actions actually affect the prices of anything else other than grain commodities? If autos get tariffs, does the price of cars and trucks drop. Is the price of whiskey on the trade list going to drop. This world needs more hungry people in places where hunger isn't already a problem.

I'm tired of smelling everyone else's farts and shit....**** off already! This stuff isn't our fault but we are sure paying for it!

bin supplier already told me to lock in price now, bin manufacturers increasing prices because of the steel tariffs. what a f&cking joke.

Yep, Obama was pretty good in retrospect.

You guys are funny.
I think it might have been thoughts of grain trade wars and politics coupled with US subsidies leading to disastrous grain prices then coupled with exponential increases in viable economies of scale followed by interest rates and weather issues.
Ottawas assault on the oil industry fits in somewhere too maybe.
Somehow this current US China thing reminded me of the Reagan era.
US Farm Bills of that general era come to mind.
Rather wish it would have been Labbats Blue in stubbies then the first longnecks and the big hair. Man I loved the big hair!!

Grassy, would YOU say that about Harper regarding our current Canadian "dilemma"?

3, 2 , 1.......

Lol.
