And as we're, you know, struggling to find to get the Chinese to purchase our soybeans at the rate that they used to.
And then the president chooses to bail out Argentina to the rate of 40 billion dollars.
And then China or excuse me,
Argentina turns around and sells even more soybeans to China, it's a real slap in the face to the soybean producer.
And I'm hearing that, too, from growers in my area who are just like, well, we're going to hang on to the beans that we just finished harvest here in West Central Minnesota.
And we're storing our beans, hoping that there is a market for them.
throughout the winter and hoping one of these trade deals go through.
But the challenge with that is that I have to explain to my banker, I can't bank on hope, right?
I can't bank on the framework of a policy.
I can't bank on tweet promises or truth social promises, right?
I can't get operating loans based on what the president says on social media.
You asked how long can we hang on?
And I just would like to answer that.
In Minnesota, I heard from the Department of Agriculture yesterday that our farmer lender mediation rate is at the highest it's been in 10 years.
We're hearing calls into our farm stress rural hotline.
at a all time high since it was started, right?
Farmers are seeing that stress and they're experiencing that stress right away.
I will just tell a quick story on my operation.
I met with my banker before harvest and thankfully we have a good crop.
Things look good.
