A Trade War Begins It Has
Hmm a tariff war begun it has. Like a young Padawan rushing into battle President Trump has. 'Fear is the path to the dark side,' and tariffs they spark fear they do. Scott Bessent worried he is about an unsustainable tariff war. But for the U.S. farming sector late they are. Damage already done. A crisis upon us it is like sand in Anakin's boots irritating indeed.
Pork Orders Canceled They Are
Cancelations of pork orders biggest since 2020 revealed USDA. A shipment of 12,000 tons gone it is. 'Always two there are no more no less. A master and an apprentice.' In this case Trump and the tariff masters of disruption they are. A force to be reckoned with this crisis is.
Oakland's Concern Great It Is
The Port of Oakland concerned it is. Like a Wookiee without his bowcaster it is vulnerable. Kristi McKenney warns of job losses. 'Do or do not. There is no try.' But try they must or Oakland suffer it will. Almonds beef dairy all at risk they are. Hmm a bitter harvest this trade war brings.
No Replacement There Is Not
Replace China's demand? Impossible it is. No other market can absorb the volume. Prices they are falling. Like podracers without engines falling fast they are. Lumber exporters laying off workers they are. A sad sight it is like a youngling without a lightsaber.
Blanked Sailings A Bad Omen
Blanked sailings like ships disappearing into hyperspace concerning they are. Forage exporters struggling they are. 'Difficult to see; always in motion is the future.' But this future looking bleak it is. High freight costs a burden they are like carrying Yoda on your back heavy it is.
Hope Remains A Little
A glimmer of hope perhaps? Exemption for containerized agriculture they seek. Like a Jedi seeking balance in the Force balance in trade they must find. 'So much of our future lies in the hands of so few.' Let us hope those few wise they are and a solution they will find before the Force completely unbalanced it becomes.

The economy, strong it once was. Now, troubled I am.

This is why we need a Jedi council for economic policy!

Someone needs to use the Force... to fix this mess.
