New data the Agriculture Department released Friday created serious doubts about whether China will really buy millions of bushels of American soybeans like the Trump administration touted last month.

American farmers welcomed China’s promise to buy some of their soybeans, but Iowa farmer Robb Ewoldt cautioned this won’t solve all the problems as farmers continue to deal with soaring prices for fertilizer, tractors, repair parts and seeds.

President Donald Trump is making plans for a significant aid package for U.S. soybean farmers.

American soybean farmers are worried about where they're going to sell their crops and whether they'll lose money this year because China hasn't bought any for months.

Heading into this year, most U.S. farmers were hoping to break even or maybe record a small profit.
