Missouri Corn Growers President Gary Marshall credits the US/China trade deal for China buying significant amounts of US corn for the first time ever starting last year.
“The trade agreement we have with China now I think really has paid HUGE dividends for corn farmers. And anytime corn farmers are making money that means everybody in the rural communities are making money.”
But Marshall says China has been known to be fickle and who knows if they’ll keep buying US corn after the second year of the trade deal.
