Soybean growers call for resolution to conflict as exports shrink

MINNEAPOLIS, United States - For Jamie Beyer, president of the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, and those in the US soybean farming industry, life was far from easy over the past year.

"We're frustrated more than anything. We have a good product in soybeans. We have good customers in China and being prevented from trading with them is difficult," Beyer, also a soybean grower in the midwest US state of Minnesota, told Xinhua News Agency earlier this month.

"Let's move forward to a resolution," said Beyer, who married into farming in 2003 and joined the MSGA in 2015.
