AG EQUIPMENT MAKERS PINCHED BY TRADE TENSIONS –

Major manufacturers like John Deere are feeling the impact of extreme weather and the ongoing trade on the ag industry.

Extreme weather in the Midwest, delaying harvest, and the ongoing trade war has kept Illinois farmers like Phil Fuhr from buying new equipment this season. (CNBC)
