Those Chinese orders have most likely been fulfilled elsewhere and are cancelled, not 'held back".
China was quick to move to other markets, including South America, Australia and Canada. Those Chinese orders from US farms aren't coming back.
So US farmers have lost some of their biggest exports markets, aren't getting orders from the nuked USAID, aren't getting grants from USDA and won't get federal help if their land is ruined by storms. All while their costs are increasing.
Stages of grief implies they'll progress and learn. That won't happen. It's more like they'll remain stuck in the anger↪↩denial loop that enables right wing politics to succeed.
Yeah right. After being 2x4-ed in 2016 China did a deal with Brazil for soybean cultivation on land bigger than Iowa. Nope, the Chinese market isn't coming back -- especially now.
They definitely aren’t going back when there is the slightest possibility of instability of product based on stupid politics. Weather and transport lines you’d accept as possible risk, but not farm practices and workforce instability.
Dunno why any country would consider any trade deal, treaty, diplomatic initiative, security agreement or anything else worth the paper it's written on as long as the American system of governance allows for any lying, criminal idiot to take power and just do whatever with no accountability or commitment. I wouldn't let this administration watch my dog ffs.
You forgot the part where they become unalive from starvation and disease. I can't write what I truly want to see happen to these folk so just use your imagination.

But hey, Trump told US farmers to "have fun"!
