Description

Farm bankruptcies were already on the rise when President Trump's trade war added to the financial pressures on America's soybean farmers. Now, the world’s largest soybean consumer, China, has stopped buying American beans in a retaliatory move against the Trump administration. Megan Thompson visited two Minnesota farmers to hear what's on their minds this harvest season. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.
