Normally they've booked 40% of their fall soybean sales to China at this point. This year, they are at 0% booked, and no, that's not a typo. www.farmprogress.com/soybean/us-s...

"Vaden contends “every hectare” of increased ag production in Brazil comes from cutting down rainforests. Meanwhile, according to Vaden, American farmers are producing soybeans without harming the environment." We cut down trees and harmed the environment years ago, so it doesn't count
aug 31, 2025, 2:05 pm • 0 0 • view
Dear Darth Vaden, It’s inaccurate to claim every hectare of increased agricultural land in Brazil stems from rainforest clearing. A significant share comes from expanding into already cleared or deforested lands, though some deforestation remains linked to soy, especially in sensitive regions.
aug 30, 2025, 8:45 pm • 1 0 • view
Suddenly Republicans care about deforestation...It's not about the terrible Brazilians cutting down trees, although plenty of wealthy Republicans lined their homes with the mahogany, it is obviously they have no defense for supporting Trump. They supported him, and as usual, he could care less.
aug 31, 2025, 4:58 am • 1 0 • view
Deforestation-linked soy expansion in Brazil is real—but not total. Data from Trase shows that soy-related conversion in Brazil rose from 635,000 ha in 2020 to 794,000 ha in 2022. Meanwhile, total soy area grew from about 37.2 million ha to 41.2 million ha over the same period.
aug 30, 2025, 8:45 pm • 1 0 • view
So, only a fraction (a few hundred thousand hectares of several million) is tied directly to deforestation. Moreover, most soybean expansion historically occurred on previously cleared cropland or pasture, rather than by clearing forests.
aug 30, 2025, 8:45 pm • 1 0 • view
For example, in the Amazon, soy deforestation has “generally remained low,” with cattle ranching being the dominant cause.

It's hard to feel sorry for Midwestern farmers. They are one of Trump's largest supporters. My guess is that many farms will go under & be bought up by Trump billionaires as conglomerate farms. It's a fascist way to own the means of production.

Trump cut a ton of funding for USAID, included in those cuts were soybean and other crops purchased by the government for foreign aid. For many farmers this was 50-100% of their annual income. Trump is good at making things bad for everyone…except billionaires, pedophiles, and grifters.

Tariffs are Trump’s way to transfer money from the lower classes to the rich. Their investments and companies are making money hand over fist. They pay virtually no taxes. Make a million dollars: you pay a 20% tariff tax you still have $800K left. Make $50,000: you only have $40K to live on.
