**Mississippi farmers drowning in tariff debt as China buys soybeans from Brazil. 'A blood bath'**

_"For us, every soybean we grow goes down the river and gets on a big boat and hits the export market. And 50% of the beans for the United States go to the export market. You don't want to make it political, but it is what is. The tariff policies have driven the largest buyer of soybeans away. We are trying to grow a crop with a negative margin. We have to have our trading partners trading with us at higher prices for our products."_
