I've admittedly been fixated on soybeans since it's a pretty big export and I've been waiting for those trump voting farmers to react to this.

So far I've been looking for hog farmers reaction in the local papers online but I've only found what their agricultural boards and associations are saying.

I guess I want at least one or two of them to admit publicly that they were duped.
