soybeans were around $11 a bushel. the price immediately plummeted to around $8 a bushel.mer never steps on his crop. he passes right through, steps over, and he doesn't harm his client. because when you harm your plant, you are harming your money. the banks are basically saying that they cannot extend credit based on the $8 a bushel for soybeans. we are paying for seeds and lime and fertiliser as we can. the administration has attempted to ease their pain with a $12 billion aid programme... we will ensure that our farmers get the relief they need and very, very quickly. it's a good time to be a farmer. we've got to make sure of that. farmers are going to get these payments, they'll get them in a few days, every day they say it's going to be all right. it's not true. this administration has treated the farmers badly, just step on the mend kick them around and treat them bad. i've got $6,000 and itjust doesn't bring you to the break even point. i don't want to stand in my local county office and fill out some paperwork. i would much rather have a good market price from a co

last year it was on a per bushel basis. whatever you grew, just for soy beans, i forget what it was, $1.67 a bushel made. this year it was different because there was kind of an uproar that other crops may not have been treated quite fairly. >> interesting. >> so it's going to be done by an per acre basis on a per county basis. every county has a per acre -- dollar per acre number. you go into your local usda office, sign up and say i planted this many acres of crops this year, and then money shows up in your checking account. >> i mean, it's wild, because if any candidate proposed that for some other group of people, like i don't know, waiters, that every waiter in america would just get a big check from the government based on how many tables they did in their shift, people will be like you can't do that. >> you can't do that. you got to realize how much money this is. certainly i want to be very clear. it's appreciated. we appreciate the taxpayers for it. and again, it's going to local hardware stores and goes into real

these are not exact numbers but it was about 20 billion bushels of corn and a little over 5 billion that was ethanol production. in general we know that social security is the third rail of politics. i wondering if this bad policy of use of corn with ethanol is the third rail of primary politics. ethanol has been entered honestly divisive topic. when we talk about agriculture, climate and agriculture. the groups have shown amount of corn used for ethanol has led to land-use change to the fact we have fewer trees and have to clear it corn for ethanol. and for fee for livestock. and this is something that is a huge environmental issue. there are people on both sides that think that displacing oil with ethanol is worth the cost. i think the democratic party and activist on the entire mental side have turned a corner on. and they're not pushing back in corn ethanol. host: they going around to iowa and of the caucuses. guest: it is a huge part of the economy there. agriculture is politically powerful in every state. if there is something is exempt from, it is environment allows. host: matt, d

how do you take a long-term view on the price of a bushel of soybeans? was a way you could. you have to live in the moment right now. there is so much distracting news flow. , some oft unfounded that founded. are we going to be able to export anything to china? we have spent decades cultivating this relationship. i think it is more moment by moment and knowing the market does get overbought and oversold with the news. vonnie: thank you. it is an interesting august. that is for sure. over of the cme. we are taking a look at the automakers after china announcing 25% tariffs on u.s. cars will resume in december with another 10% on top for some vehicles. with existing general duties taken into account, the total tariffs could be as high as 50% in certain cases. taylor riggs has more details. you could be looking at turface as high as 50%. this chart is breaking down what would happen. tariffs were responded, and is could resume december 15. they have given general levees up to 50%. we want to take it who is most impacted. , we drivein the u.s. tesla. ford or

going to go pull his crops out of the field harvesting this fall, he's going to lose two dollars per bushel. that is combined with the thisels waivers administration has given to big oil. and these bigxxon oil companies not have to use ethanol. there's more corn sitting in the silos. you can drive through rural iowa and still see corn from last year sitting in the fields. we are definitely hearing more from farmers who are growing frustrated by the president's actions. the president said he was going ks, ruralarmers' bac americans' backs. time and time again, he has shown that he's in the pocket of big oil and big industry and he's not looking out for these folks. people only gave him the benefit of the doubt for a while. they are starting to grow frustrated. in the coming weeks and months, we will see more and more of that. , this is troy price david in new mexico. caller: i have a few questions for you. the democratic party is walking the walk and talking the talk. i know that. --t i want you to answer me aboutys don't really talk the abortions you guys are causing. people in america that

soybeans down 1.4% a bushel. crude down 4.6%. both of those are off there lows.ommodities in china's headlights. they are targeting soybeans and crude. general motors and ford are the ones reacting to the retaliation. also president trump's promise he will say more this afternoon. he will say more about tariffs. that, we still have jackson hole going on. jerome powell has been speaking to his audience. we are waiting for him to make an appearance outside the jackson lake lodge following his speech to central bankers. let's get straight to jackson hole. bosler is there as well as stephen roach. you if this ask speech will have gone down well among academics, if it will have illuminated any corner of fed thinking we did not already know about? matt: here we were in jackson hole and we thought jay powell's speech was likely to be the big market mover but perhaps that was naive. already we have president trump weighing in. on the one hand you might think it is outdated, but on the other hand jay powell speech did set things up nice for the possibility of future addit

that could be a potentially 200-bushel yield

so it's -- at $4.40 a bushel, i lost $70 an acre just putting my crop in this year.ow. you have farmed for 40 years. what about some of the younger farmers in your area? is there a future in farming for them, you think? >> i don't -- i don't see them making it. they don't have the equity that older guys like i do and, you know, it's kind of like telling all of america to throw away half their 401(k) is what they're asking farmers to do, taking all our markets away from us. it's no different, you know. we build up our equity. we own a lot of land, but we're kind of cash poor. and they -- they put the hit on us here, and the young farmers don't have that equity to fall back on and do loss loans like a lot of people are going to have to do. >> i'm using the words you said, what about you old guys? but how long can you hold out if things continue to go the way they're going? >> well, you're almost kicking yourself in the rear-end for not getting out two years ago. some guys did, and we thought they were crazy. it looks like it was a good move. you're going to get to the
