Effects on farmers with trade war looming - Dan O'Brian Ag Economist thoughts.

More analysis on the USA vs China trade issues.

O'Brian comments "Chinese tariffs on US Soybeans...will increase prices and draw on other suppliers...and reduce consumption." Interesting how the market digests the uncertainty.

Message I get is not much effect other than raising world prices for soybeans a bit.

Oilseed prices got hammered last week when the tarriffs were announced.

This ag economist does not sound too alarmed. I hope he is right.
