"It is the long game that we have to worry about, but as farmers you know we’re obviously worried about whatever happens in the short term, we’ve got a crop coming up, we don’t know if it’s a bumper crop or not, if it’s a bumper crop it’s going to depress prices but the fact of the matter is commodities are very volatile. In this case the tariffs are going to push it down, they’ll make money on the way down, it will go back up and come back down and come back up, that’s what commodity prices do, it’s just better when they’re a lot higher particularly for farmers who are trying to make farm payments."
