Dusty feels trade pain of South Dakota producers

Congressman Dusty Johnson agrees with Governor Kristi Noem that ongoing trade disputes have really hurt South Dakota agriculture.

"Yeah. I mean. Of course, we need a successful outcome to this trade dispute, but we also need a swift one," Johnson tells Kelo Radio's It's Your Business Show with Bill Zortman.

Johnson says a solution can't be two years down the road because a lot of people will go out of business between now and then.

Johnson says the producers he's talked to have shown a remarkable amount of patience as the Trump Administration negotiates with China, but their patience is growing thin.

"I'm willing to tighten the belt and go through a little bit of pain if this is going to result in long term gain, but, Dusty, I only have so much rope."

President Trump cities "substantial progress in U.S. trade talks with Beijing and predicts that President Xi Jinping may soon join him in Florida for a "signing summit."
