End of commodity boom real reason for national anger

[bucket]

China has purchased just 6.32 million MT of U.S. soybeans year to date. This compared to 16 million MT purchased last year at this time . . . a 60% decline.

That's not a cycle...its a man made trade war....not started by weather....or things out of our control....

It was something that was planned ....and the US has addressed the consequences by throwing over 30 billionUSD ( 40billion canadian) at the farm community ...meanwhile our governments both provincial and federal choose to ignore farmers in Western Canada by blaming the weather.....

Trump is out beating the bushes for any way he can to make America great, which by the way makes Americans rich. I don’t need to tell you how many ways Trudeau has tried to piss off our trading partners. Shameful, that some one has the nerve to rub salt into the wounds in a farm newspaper (rag). Very sad state of affairs- the twisted cruel minds!

Trump and the trade war are a big reason why commodity prices and economies are slowing!

But I don't expect you will ever understand how your beloved Trump could do anything wrong.

Our Ag industry should have jumped on the opportunity to fill the void .... like other countries have . But nope .... sit with our heads in the sand and meanwhile the Lady from Wahway still in her multimillion dollar home in Vancouver causing China to block some canola exports from Canada with mysteriously fake “pests” .... nothing being done for the past 10 months . Also the pulse tariffs in India should have been resolved a long time ago .... but nothing is being done there either . Those two factors alone have taken 30-40% net income of grain farms in western Canada . All out of our control while we have paid farm groups not lobbying hard at all in Ottawa about any of this . Now that’s frustrating....

I've been reading your posts for a while now and you never cease to amaze me. out of all the radical posters on here... you sir take the cake with your delusional statements. zero thoughts as to anyone or anything outside of your own operation and 5km epicenture you call your farmyard. I find it astounding you actually believe In the garbage you type.

Maybe just maybe those piles of wheat are just a little too damp to put in a bin. In my part of the world its either a bag or a pile until the dryer can get to it. I don't think their were any record grain crops around here just record damp grain. Not counting in the stuff still in the field either

Not so much . . . U.S. fracking industry now in-disarray. Heavy losses . . . .

Isn’t diesel and gasoline a commodity. This country should be selling more. More of everything

Temporary...part of the market reset. US wont be getting any crude out of the ME soon. Chinese will have to, then watch the world price go up.
