How have the recent floods in the Midwest compounded the challenges faced by soybean farmers amid the ongoing trade dispute?

The US-China trade war, marked by substantial tariffs on soybeans, significantly impacted US soybean exports to China, which dropped from 27 million tonnes ($12.8 billion) in the previous year. This led to a 40% drop in soybean prices over three years, from $17 to $10 per bushel, forcing farmers to consider measures like planting earlier to compensate for losses and facing the possibility of going out of business. The current situation shows a reliance on alternative suppliers for China, such as Brazil.

How does this year's water discharge plan compare to previous years, and what are the potential risks or uncertainties associated with this approach?
