Soybeans pile up as china stops buying

Nahhhhhhh…with the increasing number of lib soyboys…so will demand.

Aside from going on full on alt right as demonstrated with the “soy boy” imagined insult, it’s kind of funny that because soy milk has isoflavones which could theoretically be converted to estrogen, there is no proof that that actually happens.

If you drink milk from a cow though, that for sure has estrogen produced by a mammal and would be far more feminizing. Judging be the high preponderance of moobs at a Trump rally, those are the type of people that should be chugging the soy.

Let China grow its own soybeans then. Funny that they haven’t been doing this all along…

We can adjust to corn or wheat.

Takes some time for the market to adjust and adjust it will.

It is splendid when the ignorant out themselves as getting their information from alt-right memes.

It’s kind of funny that you’re touting the invisible hand of the free market to solve the problems caused by…Republican tariffs.

Making America great again! /sarc

It’s about time we start producing soybeans in this country again. ■■■■■■■ Obama and his job killing regulations took soybean production to its lowest level in centuries. Trump is restoring freedom for all. Bless him.

It is crazy to ship agricultural products half way around the world because we are selling them too cheap.

NuffSaid · 2018-11-06T17:52:03.838Z

So, your proposed solution to a problem that Trump created by increasing tariffs on a country who in turn has stopped buying our product is to switch to another foodstuff to grow.

Who is going to purchase the necessary equipment for these farmers to switch over?
Who is going to pay for the soil testing to ensure these crops will grow?
Who is going to build/renovate the proper storage facilities for these new crops?

Sounds like a lot of money needed to fix a problem the President created.

That literally makes no sense.

Ha, you typed almost word for word what I thought when I read his post two minutes ago.

I considered replying but figured, What’s the point?

It’s going to take a lot of socialism for the free market to respond to Republican attacks on the free market.

Yes, I wonder which socialist solution that Trump is going to choose first.

he’ll just give the farmers more bailout money (also known as taxpayer money).

I don’t think he’s allowed to do that for two reasons.

One, that’s socialism!!!##@!!!

Two, that’s redistribution of wealth!!

The tariffs might be causing short term pain but the government has been way too deep into the farm industry for 50 years now. The real problem has nothing to do with tariffs, those are there to correct another problem government has been ignoring for way too long.

What does the government getting out of the farm industry look like and what problems get fixed?
