🧺 Potential Agricultural Win Coming in Talks With China

If all goes well, a major component of U.S. agricultural exports could get back on track soon.

  • Soybeans: $24.5 billion

  • Corn: $13.7 billion

  • Beef & Beef Products: $10.5 billion

  • Tree Nuts: $9.9 billion

  • Pork & Pork Products: $8.6 billion

  • Dairy Products: $8.3 billion

  • Food Preparations: $6.4 billion

  • Soybean Meal: $6.4 billion

  • Wheat: $5.8 billion

  • Poultry Meat & Products: $5.5 billion

China bought more than $12 billion in U.S. soybeans in 2024. That’s more money than any U.S. agricultural export save corn, and only barely.

But China hasn’t paid for a single soybean since May as part of the back-and-forth trade war with the United States.

The two countries are expected to meet in South Korea today in hopes of hammering out a new trade agreement. If China starts buying our soybeans again, a lot of large American farmers and farming companies are going to be happy.

The housing market is stuck — with condos sitting unsold and homeowners hanging on to ultra-low mortgage rates. Many are turning into “accidental landlords” instead of sellers. Clark explains why this can be a smart move — if you know how to screen tenants and manage from afar. Also, a big shift is happening in restaurants: smaller portions are showing up on menus at places like Olive Garden. Clark shares why this change could be good news for your wallet and your waistline.
