You are correct. current prices for corn and soybeans are at or below cost of Production
Trump is educating America on exactly why there is a 700 billion dollar trade deficit. That deficit means dollars leaving this country creating a backdrop for a huge US budget deficit.
By leveling the Tariff playing field....US farmers and industry will finally be able to sell globally at a fare price.

We might see a little more corn and little less beans this year. At least some farmers were listening to pre-season trade news (re. Chinese threats to put higher tariffs on beans, reports from secondary and tertiary highway drivers glancing at fields, etc.). Drought is starting to affect crops around northern MO (humidity down from normal, some wilting, arrested growth--yields affected, premature maturity?). Repeated heat waves. Weather there is worth watching with only slight chances of rain in a few days.
