In a virtual townhall event on Thursday, U.S. Soybean Export Council CEO Jim Sutter acknowledged the tensions between the U.S. and China. With the recent consulate closings, Sutter said it’s important to build up relations, not attack. “Having the kind of environment where the Chinese want to continue to make purchases in and having them feel like there’s a mutually beneficial relationship in place. I think that will make the agreement last.” National Corn Growers Association President Kevin Ross said China’s recent corn sales are encouraging. Both leaders were part of an AgTalks Town Hall virtual webinar series. Another webinar will be held on Wednesday with a focus on Minnesota, trade and the future of American agriculture.
