“China’s Trade-War Playbook Keeps U.S. Soybeans Sidelined”
By: Ag Web – October 27, 2025
“China’s refusal to buy U.S. soybeans this fall is less about economics and more about politics. China is making a calculated move to limit its dependence on the United States. If Chinese leaders see Washington as a strategic threat, they have the resources to pay a little more for Brazilian soybeans or draw down state reserves. It’s about control and national leverage, not about getting the cheapest beans.”

“U.S. Ag Trade Deficit Widens As Exports Decline and Imports Rise”
By: Brownfield Ag News – October 20, 2025
“Exports have largely been chugging along at the same levels for quite a while now. This year, however, exports have really nosedived. All of that’s driven by the current situation with China in the trade war. So, what was kind of a troubling situation has turned into a really serious, dire situation.”

“Reducing the wage could affect whether workers sign H-2A agreements. He also said that farmers have been looking for wage relief as agricultural wages have increased. H-2A wage rates have been growing around 20% a year on average. So this could provide some relief for the farmers but could have some longer run effects on supply issues.”

“Wyoming Ranchers Call For Help as Trump Turns to Argentine Beef Imports”
By: Gillette News Record – October 24, 2025
“In 2024, the U.S. consumed 27.8 billion pounds of beef. Relative to this figure, the increase, even up to 100,000 metric tons, is unlikely to cause beef prices to drop by dollars per pound. At the retail and cattle level ... it will have some impact, but it’s unlikely to be a big impact.”
“The likelihood of importing enough additional pounds of beef from Argentina to impact the market in a sizable way is pretty low. Argentine beef currently accounts for only about 2% of total U.S. beef imports.”

“Has the Trade War Affected Bourbon Prices?”
By: Byteseu – October 25, 2025
“A bottle of bourbon can cost anywhere from between $20 to over $100 for more premium products. We are seeing higher supply, but we haven’t seen large drops in prices. That’s because alcohol is a perishable good, which means you can put it in storage and release it at a slower pace, keeping prices at their current levels. I think your long-term hope is that you can just hold onto that product…and you can continue to sell it at a higher price later on. But we’re not seeing prices move up as much as they used to as a result.”

“Why Your Beef, Bananas and Coffee Beans Have Gotten So Expensive”
By: CBS News – October 27, 2025
“Global prices for bananas and coffee will continue to be sensitive to extreme heat or drought conditions, especially because the products are cultivated in a relatively small number of regions around the world. These types of price sensitivities will look like inflation to the average consumer.”
