Matt Rehberg, vice president of the Wisconsin Soybean Association, will be planting about 1,000 acres of corn and slightly fewer acres of soybeans this spring on his farm in Clinton. A trade war with China could upend his business, but it's too late to change course on planting now.
Clinton-area farmer Matt Rehberg says farmers are paying attention to President Donald Trump's latest rounds of tariffs, but many are staying the course. "At the end of the day, we've got to plant and grow a crop and sort it out as we can."
Soybean growers could be some of the hardest hit. President Donald Trump's top trade war adversary, China, purchases a quarter of all U.S.-grown soybeans.
