IF EXPORTS RISE, FARMERS WON’T NEED TRADE AID, SAYS PERDUE –

U.S. ag exports have gained limited traction from President Trump’s ballyhooed trade victories, but Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue is optimistic that demand will improve. “I hope we can show that a third round [of trade war payments] is not needed for 2020,” Perdue said in a statement. “We still believe farmers want trade rather than aid.” (Successful Farming)
