The Wisconsin Soybean Association is encouraged by news of progress between the United States and China on soybean trade. Any movement toward restoring market access for Wisconsin soybean farmers is welcome after recent uncertainty and lost opportunity.

While this development is a step in the right direction, the damage from past trade disruptions will take time to repair. Rebuilding trust and re-establishing consistent export channels will not happen overnight. Wisconsin soybean farmers remain hopeful that this truce marks the beginning of a long-term, stable trading relationship that benefits producers and strengthens our rural economy.
