yeah and over half the US farm production actually gets sold overseas. Which is why I laugh about this whole trade war crap. The US supplies 60% of the world's food supply, not counting our fish and seafood. the number one importers of our produce... the very 4 countries trying to do this trade war. China, Mexico, Canada and the EU. Combined, their ag sectors cannot produce enough food for the people in each of their own countries, let alone try to help anyone else. So this whole trade war will be won by the Trump administration. He literally could starve those countries out. it's the same exact reason there will never be a war between China and the US.Agreed! I grew up on a farm and although the hog houses weren't the best smelling places, it's production agriculture and the farmers do have rights too. I saw this morning on the news that only 2% of the US population are production farmers. They produce food for 98% of us. They have to do what is necessary to be successful.
