China purchases a significant portion of the sorghum the United States grows, with estimates ranging from over 85% to 94% of U.S. sorghum exports going to China. For example, in 2023, approximately 94% of U.S. sorghum shipments went to China. China is the world's largest sorghum importer, importing more than all other countries combined.

Btw if you are a Trump voting farmer who has now lost your international market you should
receive zero $s in bail out money.

Some days I get fed up with all the "poor farmer" rhetoric. The farmers around me do fine -- even when they're screwed by the Repugs they voted for.

Of course, the redneck Congress is already working on a big new welfare handout package for farmers, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers, mostly from blue states, which are the economic powerhouse of the USA.
