vanderwal. i look at the reason this is a crisis right now is we've gone through four or five years of really low commodity prices. if we have perfect tried agreements and our ag products got into every market across the globe and we were treated fairly, we probably wouldn't have had as low of markets the last four or five years. am i correct? president trump correctly identified we needed to fight for better trade grooms, would you agree with that? >> better trade agreements -- >> i agree with that. we've westbound beat out historically in trade agreements -- we've been beat out -- there are higher tariffs coming this way. >> i agree whole heartedly. we've been living with unfair trade agreements. we've been paying the price, and our farmers and ranchers have been dealing with that when previous mayings did not fight for the american farmer. this president is fighting for him and china knew directly where we were the most vulnerable. they came after our farmer and the ranchers. it gets me upset

vanderwal, i appreciate your testimony. you pointed out how certainly appreciate president trump's efforts and part of the concern here is this is all in the context that agriculture has not enjoyed as you said, the economic uptrend that other parts of our economy have. and so in that entire context, i think it is usually very important. because we have a lot of things to work on. in the trade arena, i think there is a greater understanding and appreciation of trade. i think there's a greater appreciation that trade. so again, mr. vanderwal, it looks from your bio, a strong competitor we have. certainly in soybeans. i was hoping you could elaborate as much as you can on what, you know, these trade issues mean to market share and perhaps what other countries might do particularly brazil in this context. >> thank you, congressman. i wonder if i could respectfully yield my time to mr. bain because he has to leave. if he would be able to answer your question and then i could come back and address it? >> sure. >> thank you, scot
