From a high of 75 percent in December, the percentage of those surveyed saying the country is headed in the right direction fell to 52 percent in May.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers represent a key constituency in states that could decide control of the U.S. Senate, including Iowa, Texas, Ohio and Michigan, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2026\/06\/14\/why-voters-feel-so-bad-about-economy-what-it-means-november\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/business\/2026\/06\/14\/why-voters-feel-so-bad-about-economy-what-it-means-november\/\">North Carolina<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s signing Wednesday of an agreement that extends the ceasefire with Iran for 60 days follows a lengthy interruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which curtailed exports from three of the world\u2019s top 10 producers of urea and anhydrous ammonia fertilizer: Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to solve that just because we open the strait. There is still a very big wound there that is going to take time to heal,\u201d said Josh Linville, vice president of financial services firm StoneX, who expects prices to remain higher than usual through next spring.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, conditions in the strait remained fluid. Iranian authorities declared the channel once again closed in response to Israeli attacks in Lebanon \u2014 underscoring the fragility of the agreement signed last week.<b> <\/b>U.S. Central Command denied there was a closure, and said that shipping had increased, with 55 merchant ships and 17 million gallons of oil reaching global markets.

He<b> <\/b>runs the operation from a small, white house adjacent to a two-lane road. Several buildings and grain silos dot the property.<\/p>\n<p>With shoulder-length brown hair and a full beard, Tyson is profoundly disillusioned by Washington. Well-funded business lobbyists and entrenched government bureaucrats thwart the will of the people, necessitating a disruptive figure like Trump, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was involved with the [American] Soybean Association for 16 years. I thought I could make a difference,\u201d he said. \u201cI spent a lot of time in Washington and realized that it doesn\u2019t matter. It doesn\u2019t matter what you say out here or what you do out here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyson remains supportive of Trump\u2019s drain-the-swamp brio, though he objects to the double whammy of import tariffs and income taxes.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers have been among the biggest losers of the president\u2019s trade wars. After China responded to Trump\u2019s first-term tariffs by purchasing soybeans from Brazil rather than the U.S., he gave farmers $23 billion to offset lost export sales.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4580\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/06ddeda86af3413700b18fa6e4f20600-819x1024.jpg\" width=\"819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/06ddeda86af3413700b18fa6e4f20600-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/06ddeda86af3413700b18fa6e4f20600-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/06ddeda86af3413700b18fa6e4f20600-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/06ddeda86af3413700b18fa6e4f20600-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/06ddeda86af3413700b18fa6e4f20600-1639x2048.jpg 1639w, https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/06ddeda86af3413700b18fa6e4f20600-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figcaption>A harvest machine in a soybean field in Cruz Alta, Brazil, on April 1.

Separate levies first imposed in 2020 on phosphate fertilizer from Morocco were another irritant.<\/p>\n<p>Under pressure from larger harvests in South America, soybean prices are down by roughly one-third from their 2022 levels. The combination of higher input costs and lower sales prices leave many soybean farmers needing to borrow money.<\/p>\n<p>For loans in excess of $100,000, farmers face interest rates of nearly 7 percent, more than twice the figure from four years ago, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kansascityfed.org\/agriculture\/agfinance-updates\/growth-in-farm-lending-activity-persists\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.kansascityfed.org\/agriculture\/agfinance-updates\/growth-in-farm-lending-activity-persists\/\">data<\/a> from the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movinginsiderusa.com\/?p=4574\">Chargers\u2019 Justin Herbert adjusting footwork during offseason program<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe returns for farmers have been really tough on the soybean side the past few years.

The price of <a href=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/GASDESW\" rel=\"\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/fred.stlouisfed.org\/series\/GASDESW\">diesel<\/a>, which powers tractors, jumped by nearly 50 percent in the weeks before his scheduled April 1 corn planting.

Eventually he had to swallow the extra expense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a tough year, a tough season so far.

His last tank of diesel cost $32,000, versus roughly $19,000 in December.<\/p>\n<p>The Iran war\u2019s end should mean less-expensive fertilizer. But Hendrix worries that the small number of suppliers will use their market power to keep prices high.
