POTUS has decided to have a trade war with China, the biggest buyer of soybeans from our farmers. These beans are incredibly useful. We use them to feed to farm animals because of the potency of their protein. We use them in our food. Ever go to an Asian restaurant and wonder what that black stuff in the bottle on the table is? It's Soy Sauce, and its delicious. People have been using soybeans for centuries, for thousands of purposes.

So here is the problem with all those tariffs and the trade war. Our farmers work very hard to produce crops which they want to sell so they can take care of their families and also buy equipment. When our farmers are effectively denied a market, which is what tariffs do, they cannot sell their products.

This problem is not just one for the farmers who grow our food, they need equipment to do it efficiently. If they don't have the funds to buy new equipment, the folks that make the equipment begin to lose their jobs, because no one is buying what they make. All because POTUS decided to up the price on all Chinese goods coming into our country, and China did exactly the same to us. Thanks POTUS, you did us all a favor!

So, how does this get fixed? Well for starters we should probably not anger the buyer of our products. Tariffs are a tax paid by an importer for the privilege of bringing things into this country to sell. When one country wants to protect its own products from what may appear as unfair competition, they put a tariff on that product. However, when a country wants to increase revenues and doesn't care about the result, it will put a tariff on everything coming from a rival country. POTUS doesn't care who gets hurt in the process.

As you drive through the countryside, look at the amazing fields of plants and the pastures of animals. All this is being done for you. So, lets not screw it up. Thank the Farmer. Nobody eats without them.
