"Farmers need trade aid payments, but once again, @USDA overcompensated southern cotton growers whose market losses are smaller & whose prices have gone up, getting more aid on a county-by-county basis than Illinois' soybean farmers."
"Coming off of one of the toughest years in memory, @USDA's formula for trade aid payments adds insult to injury for Illinois farmers. The President's trade war with China has been a failure--farmers received 40% of their income from the government last year."
