    Talking wheat, only durum would be affected?
     
  5. How china will feed their 1 billion ppl? Those tariffs are very good for USA,very bullish for stock market
     
  6. I agree. China MUST buy most of these things. If this was China's method of retaliation its pretty weak. I am slowly coming to the opinion that this whole trade war hysteria is a big nothing burger.
