The president of Iowa Farm Bureau, Craig Hill, says farmers should not count on a resolution to the trade war with China happening anytime soon.
“It’s going to be difficult to change China. I’m not sure they’re willing to structurally change,” Hill says. “So I think marketing decisions need to made on the information you have at hand, and not so much on a promise of a quick recovery in this negotiation.”
Even if a deal were to be reached, Hill says, the trading relationship between the two countries may be slow to recover.
