We've got a big Friday episode that we're using to have a little fun and clear up some misconceptions. First of all, new news in the glyphosate cancer trial in California was announced; second, a meeting between President Xi and President Trump; and third, African Swine Fever outbreak again in China.With China's tariffs still shaping the soybean market, we wanted to make sure that our facts were right when it comes to importing and exporting soy and other grains. To do that, we got on the phone with Dr. Frayne Olson, the NDSU Extension Marketing expert who works a lot with grain coming and going from Canada. Be sure to listen in over the weekend!
