# Farmers await details on second round of trade aid - Texas Farm Bureau

> USDA is expected to soon announce details of a second round of trade assistance for soybean, wheat, sorghum, cotton, dairy and pork farmers. Aggregate US agricultural exports to China fell more than 65 percent year over year in August 2018, and soybean exports were down 97 percent in the first two months of the marketing year.

## Why it matters

Heavy loss of Chinese demand for US soybeans and sorghum keeps export flows weak and pressures US prices relative to competing origins. Additional aid may ease farm finances but does not restore lost export volume.
