Last month, Trump came to Wisconsin & said our farmers were “over the hump.” He claimed China will immediately buy “a tremendous amount of food and ag product.” Neither of those claims have proven true.

I’m in Wausau today meeting with Wisconsin ginseng farmers. They need an end to Trump’s trade war with China and certainty for the fall season. They can’t afford to wait.pic.twitter.com/w3AaUDY357

Marathon County grows 90% of all cultivated American ginseng. 85% of Wisconsin ginseng is exported to China but their tariffs against Wisconsin ginseng for over a year have devastated our exports. Instead of escalating his trade war Trump should deliver a better trade deal.

Shows how much you know about Wisconsin Farmers. Ginseng prices have been dropping way b 4 Trump ever took office. When a market gets flooded, prices drop because of surplus. There's a need for a larger market besides China.
