The soybean market has collapsed in America.
Trump's tariffs and the loss of U.S. soybean export markets contribute to a grain bin collapse in Martinton, Illinois. 1.8 million pounds of soybeans were stored in a grain bin that couldn't hold that amount because there's nowhere to sell them.

Does anyone else find it suspicious? I happened to watch a soy farmer yesterday, on YT, complain about how much money they're losing due to tariffs and China finding soy elsewhere.

Tinfoil hat: everyone has seen this collapse of a grain silo. Turns out it was storing soybeans. Soybeans that can’t be sold because China isn’t buying them. Now the farmers will collect a huge insurance pay out for the collapse. They made a profit by not selling.
