I recently saw a YouTube video of people bragging that soybean prices were still pretty solid... How is this guy going bankrupt if soybean prices are still pretty solid? And a bunch of people in the comments were saying the same thing that they were soybean farmers and doing fine.

It looks like prices were about $11.25 at the end of 2024 and are now about $9.50 to $9.75...

Which doesn't seem like a terrible price historically...

This guy's been in the business 40 years... Is he just making excuses? Or are we really hurting due to China not buying our soybeans? Not sure what to believe...

Maybe they were bots? Fake accounts?Trying to sell the line.

Sounded like we were gonna get hit pretty bad from China buying soybeans elsewhere.

True. And maybe the USDA is lying about the numbers? I wouldn't put it past the Trump admin...

Though, if they were lying you would think they would make the numbers look better... And knowing Trump the lies would be in sharpie...
