Arkansas Republicans Ignore Farm Crisis
Rich Shumate discusses how Trump's tariffs have worsened the farm crisis in Arkansas.
China has agreed to buy 12 million tons of U.S. soybeans as part of a trade deal, after President Donald Trump pulled back on his threats of 100% tariffs.
Whether that helps Arkansas farmers already hurt by China’s previous boycott of soybeans remains to be seen.

Hudson stated that farmers "are struggling not because of ordinary business cycles. They are struggling because of predatory behavior by China.
