Farmers want win-win end to Sino-US 'spat'

For Rick Hawbaker, who runs a John Deere dealership in Nevada, Iowa, the current trade disagreement between the US and China is like a marital spat.

"We have been married to China for a while, and we have had a spat. Now it's time to kiss and make up," he said in an interview on Thursday

Hawbaker is not alone in wanting the "spat" to end, as more than 30 percent of Iowa's soybeans are sent to China, and the state is a major hog producer.
