Trade War Pushes Farmers Away from Planting Soybeans

Many in Tennessee switching to corn next year

AgWeb reports farmers who have traditionally grown soybeans might be switching to corn next year unless the trade war is resolved before then. Danny Morris of University of Tennessee Extension told AgriTalk guest host Clinton Griffiths that soybean producers in the state won’t survive another 18 months without trade resolution.
