the major problem of huge amounts of soybeans that have been harvested with nothing to be done with them.
Farmers must now find storage bins to put their harvest in. Such companies have raised their prices since space is at a premium.
Next spring it may be hard for farmers to get loans to buy seed, and repair or purchase equipment and of course to buy daily life sustaining products in their small towns where small businesses depend on their dollars.

All these bits of economic insecurity will be adding up to a mess which no one in that admin nitration will have any idea how to address. It is hard to react when all you have is Fox News platitudes.
