It’s an important point that farmers, both for fruit crops like cherries and also for soybeans and pork, are especially at risk and vulnerable to Trump’s insane trade war because they have already spent the money to grow and harvest their crops and raise and feed their livestock, and many are now forced to sell their output at below their cost of production. It’s as if US farmers are being forced by Trump’s trade war to “dump” their products in China and other foreign markets at prices below their costs of production. And yet, don’t Team Trump and protectionists/scarcityists objects to “dumping” as one of China’s alleged unfair trade practices? Hmmm...
