so...???

We IMPORT 4 TIMES the amount of STUFF from China vs our Exports..  So if CHINA wants to ESCALATE a TRADE WAR..  which would be very dumb.. but.. ??

We as SORGHUM PRODUCERS could petition the TRUMP administration to IMPOSE COUNTER VAILING TARIFFS against Chinese IMPORTS to COMPENSATE US FOR UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES..

.. which would probably continue the escalation.

And they could retailiate..

.. and we could retailiate..

.. and they could retailiate..

UNTIL ALL TRADE IS STOPPED!

Does CHINA REALLY WANT TO GO THERE?!?

.. because they got ALOT more to LOSE than WE do..

Okay so Assuming THEY DO want to GO THERE..  How do we handle it?

At some point it's gonna affect the soybean market.. But we'll have TARIFFS on Imports COMING IN to this country.. to COMPENSATE for LOST MARKETS!!

basically the Syngenta lawsuit on steriods..

What do we do with that?

Pay Soybean producers a payment for market loss?
In return for this payment.. have a Soybean acreage Set Aside so as to NOT flood the market.. without China's demand..
...

other ideas?
