China imported 80 percent less U.S. sorghum in September and upped its Brazilian imports of soybeans by 28 percent.By Reuters Nov. 1, 2018 / 5:26 AM CDT
China imported 80 percent less U.S. sorghum in September and upped its Brazilian imports of soybeans by 28 percent, according to new data from China's General Administration of Customs.
This is the first time that China has provided data on the country of origin for its commodity imports since the month of March.
China typically buys most of its soybeans in the fourth quarter from the United States but has sharply reduced its purchases of American beans amid an ongoing trade war.
Beijing hit U.S. products including soybeans and grains with a 25 percent duty on July 6 in response to similar trade measures levied on Chinese goods.
China is the world's top importer of the oilseed, which it crushes to turn into soymeal to feed its huge herd of livestock.

Only he can screw up this badly.
Fox cultists will vote for GOPers to do even more damage. End their self-destructive ways; take away the tv remote control.

At the end of the day, American farmers will have to sell to Brazil at depressed prices. So much winning.
