llinois soybean farmers are paying the price for Trump’s trade war.

Fertilizer and equipment costs keep rising, markets are disappearing, and family farms are hanging by a thread.

Illinois Democrats stand with our farmers and rural communities across our state.

Illinois farmers are suffering because of Trump's tariffs.

Trump gave Argentina our soybean business and a $20 Billion bonus.
