Montana Producers Concerned with Trade Situation

U.S. hasn't sold any wheat to China since early spring

Cut wheat

The wheat harvest in Montana is getting close to being wrapped up for another year. According to several farmers from the state, so far, the crop is looking good.

A report at Tri-State Livestock News says the harvest itself isn't the main concern on farmers' minds so much as the trade situation.

Montana exports 80% of its grains, so trade and the policies that affect trade, are important to agriculture in the state.

Currently the United States hasn't sold any wheat to China, it's number six exporter, since early in the spring. Trade deals typically take a while to evolve, but farmers are hoping that the issues will be resolved in the near future.
