China, the largest buyer of U.S. soybeans, has yet to purchase any of this year\u2019s fall crop<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump\u2019s Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is in Missouri today to speak at the 11th Annual Agriculture Outlook Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However hard she tries, she won\u2019t be able to dodge tough questions about Trump\u2019s disastrous economic policies that are decimating Missouri soybean farmers who\u2019ve seen their orders dry up because of Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of Trump\u2019s reckless tariffs<\/a> and trade policies, China has not purchased any U.S. soybeans from this year\u2019s fall crop. Usually, China is the largest buyer of U.S.-grown soybeans by far<\/a>. Without those orders, the livelihoods of soybean farmers across the state are at risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This crisis is especially acute in Missouri, since the state is the sixth-largest producer of soybeans in the U.S. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to Secretary Rollins\u2019 trip, <\/em>DNC Deputy Executive Director Libby Schneider released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMissouri farmers are in crisis because of Donald Trump and Secretary Rollins. While Secretary Rollins jets into Missouri to try and defend Trump\u2019s toxic economic agenda, Missouri farmers won\u2019t let her off the hook for allowing Trump to raise their costs and destroy their way of life. This is classic Trump: He says he\u2019ll stand up for rural Missourians, while at the same time, selling them out time and time again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
