2 huge ships with US soybeans just loaded and head to China.

They need food despite tariffs.  Soybean prices rise well over 2 percent today.  Brazil is shutting down their soybean domestic industry as they ran out of soybeans to use.

Too bad we couldn't charge them double.  

Lots of beans in my area coming in at 70 bu/acre.   At $9.00 that's $630 per acre.   Considering ave input costs for beans runs in the $430 per acre I'd say they are doing just fucking fine.   Why you think so many bean acres were planted this year.

the chinese people are paying 26% more for there food cause of the tariffs levied by their government.  China's leader will buckle as they put there food sources on a diet causing their people to starve.

Yeah, and it was long lived too eh? A little short term adversity for long term prosperity seems ok to me.

Don't forget the Chicom's are devaluing their currency so their exports aren't impacted as much but when it comes to buying food from the US it fucks them.   Nice people those chicoms are.

25% drop is made up by 3% gain huh?

What's your input cost on beans?    According to SDSU the average in SD is around $170-$300 per acre.   If beans are around $9/bu you would only have to produce about 19 bu/acre to BE.

Guys were going bankrupt during the good times.  

The high leveraged operations are the ones hurting the most, IMO.  Lease all the equipment, rent all the land, and pay the co-op/elevator to do everything else.
