Patience Is Waning For Iowa Farmers Impacted By Trade War
China will exclude U.S. soybeans and pork from its latest round of tariffs, yet many Iowa farmers are concerned as the trade dispute continues to impact their bottom lines. 
 
David Differding and his wife Susan own Timeless Prairie Orchard, a small apple farm in Winthrop, Iowa.
