Iowa farmers may want to start changing to another crop. Trump has angered China and in retaliation, China has accused Trump of starting a trade war and has imposed a 25% tariff on soybeans which will cost $624 Million to Iowa farmers. U.S. soybean prices started falling in March.

"This is not the news farmers wanted to see, especially with the struggles we've had … over the past four or five years," Hart said".

Excellent! The retaliations begin, and it's only the beginning. By November, Iowa should be feeling the pain not only in loss of income, but in confusion about what crops to grow.

Do you think the average Trump voter harmed by his idiotic trade war is going to vote against him? I doubt it. They will blame it on someone else.

Trump will say it was Obama's fault and they will lap it up.

So what is it? "WILL" cost like the thread title claims? Or "COULD" cost like the article linked says?

Hmm..$640 million vs $500 billion?

No brainer to someone with a brain.

The republicans will probably double farm subsidies in an attempt to buy 2018 elections.

Combine China's agricultural tariffs with the 25% tariffs on foreign cars (all built in red states) Trump wants to implement before November and Trump supporters should be losing jobs and losing money.
