Ohio soybean farmer discusses losses due to Trump's trade war: "Every acre of soybean we grow this year, we are losing $300 an acre. So over our little 1,000 acre farmer, that is over $300,000 of loss."

Soybean farmer: The trade war is taking things from bad to worse. Now our biggest export customer, China, has not purchased any soybeans from this year's crop. That equates to about 25% of the whole American soybean crop this year. We desperately need that market and unfortunately we are in a standoff right now

Soybean farmer: We depend on the Chinese market. And right now we have 0 sold for this crop. It's a 5 alarm fire for our industry. We are not price competitive with Brazil due to the retaliatory tariffs. Our prices are about 20% higher, and that means that the Chinese are going elsewhere. And the American soybean farmers and their families are suffering.

Hassett: "China has, especially for soybean farmers, has stopped buying US soybeans. Right now the silos are full and there are soybeans sitting on the ground with tarps over them. That's unacceptable to the president. We're calling up all our soybean customers around the world as part of our trade negotiations and we're also getting ready to have really strong policies to support our farmers."

Iowa farmer: With China out of the marketplace, that is 50% of our soybean market evaporated. It's not easy to randomly switch to something else. Congress with their cuts to the Affordable Care Act, 27% of farmers are looking at premium increase. It's tone deaf to the issues we are actually facing.

China has not bought a single soybean from the U.S. in over 3 months. This is insane. Soybean farmer: “We depend on the Chinese. And right now we have 0 sold. It's a 5 alarm fire.

Soybean farmer: There are zero sales of this crop that is now being harvested, and that's alarming for our industry. It's really hard to take your biggest customer and just snap your fingers and replace it. Our farm will lose well over $100,000 on our soybean crop alone this year

Reporter: Soybean farmers are starting their harvest, but they face steep losses that could fuel farm bankruptcies and foreclosures. Many farmers say they feel betrayed. Last week, the Trump administration gave Argentina a financial lifeline, a $20 billion loan, but Argentina then cut the price of its own soy exports to China, undercutting US farmers.

Soybean farmer: Unfortunately, there's not enough market competition right now due to the trade war. This package is being proposed is really just putting a band-aid on an open wound. We are bleeding economically. We're going to lose $109 per acre of soybeans this year. We need a level playing field, and we get that by not having tariffs.

Farmers are selling their pre-purchased fertilizer at double what they paid instead of planting a crop. Let that sink in. It is more profitable to sit out the season and flip your input costs than to put seed in the ground. Soybean farmers lost $100 an acre last year. Corn farmers are looking at $50 to $100 losses this year. So what is the response? Switch from corn to soybeans. Soybeans make their own nitrogen. They do not need the fertilizer corn demands. The problem is we are already oversupplied on soybeans. More soybeans on a flooded market just drives prices lower. Fertilizer prices have gone through the roof. The Strait of Hormuz disruptions made it worse. Farmers who locked in fertilizer early are reselling it instead of using it. That is how broken the commodity food system has become.

An Arkansas farmer explains how Trump's trade policy has led to a "disaster" because China, once a major buyer, now gets its soybeans from Brazil. The US went from a $12B soybean market to zero, hurting American farmers who relied on exports to China for their livelihoods. Now, there's no relief in sight.

Soybean farmer: Unfortunately we've had stagnant prices on soybeans, which made it difficult to break even. We are selling well below the cost of production. With China being a huge importer of soybeans, 20-25% of what we produce, that's very difficult to replace that in a quick fashion.
