First, due to the tariff war, other countries(China, among others) are no longer buying our grain or beef. China made a huge deal to buy Australian beef a couple of months ago. Same with soybeans and other grain. Second, with programs like USAID and free school lunches ended, farmers have no place to sell their excess crops. USAID use to suck up tens of thousands of excess grains. No more.
