Very good question, and I agree with you, but there's probably no market opening for them since Brazil has it locked up... BUT, realize, this is just the first step and the first phase... Eventually we'll definitely see our farmers break into that global market and undercut Brazil... But we have to start somewhere and this is as good a place as any since the obvious alternative is that our farmers can't sell their soybeans abroad... First baby steps, then giant steps... GZ

I agreed so much with your question that I did some research on it, the answer to your question was so obvious that I didn't even see it... The reason we can't compete with foreign exporters is because of the tariffs imposed on our exports, this is the entire point of Donald's trade tariff policy... no matter how cheaply we try to sell our good overseas, the receiving country imposes such a heavy tariff on it that it will not be bought... so, obviously, Brazil is taking advantage of that imbalance and cornering the global market with their high priced soybeans... At least, for starters, our farmers can sell what they were not able to sell before... Realize, this is only the beginning, eventually we'll break that tariff crap and be able to enjoy open and fair international trade... GZ
