China is already switching grain suppliers; US farmers will be the losers. And, these are long-term agreements, so it will be difficult for US farmers to recover these lost sales for many years.




So these other grain suppliers can pick up China and still full fill current obligations?



Yes. The US is the 4th largest grain producing nation and those hat produce more are stepping up production. US production will be missed, but others are stepping up and increasing production.

Additionally, Wisconsin dairy farmers and cheese makers will be hurt as they export cheese.
