What so many fail to understand, regarding the China and our U.S. agricultural products ...
China, a huge consumer of pork, has had their herd devastated by disease. Their populace ain't gonna go without pig meat.
Moreover, if China purchases grain and oilseeds from other nations, other than the U.S., where are the customers that were being served by those nations gonna go?
With, or without, a trade deal .... in a world market, where we ship everywhere ... and the same may be said for our competitors ....
Prices would do what they were going to do .... with or without said deal.
Silly little CNN and their viewers ... I wish that I could always have them on the other side of my trades. I'd wind up like the GREAT W. D. Scam ... with half-of-the-money-in-the-world.
