On the Walton farm near Iowa City, Iowa, this year’s soybean crop is as good as it gets. But out here, most days are not easy, but Dave Walton finds the good in most days. That optimism could be why the Walton family has been on the farm so long.Walton is a sixth-generation soybean farmer in Iowa."I've got two sons that would like to farm, too,” says Walton.Walton says, perhaps more now than ever, there’s much anxiety about the future."We were already looking at lower profits, and this tariff issue has made it even worse."Of the 900 acres on the Walton's farm, 300 acres are for soybeans."We sell most of our soybeans to a river terminal," says Walton.The soybeans are then loaded onto a barge on the Mississippi, shipped down river and eventually arrive in China, where a growing middle class has an insatiable appetite for all things soy. "They use it mainly for animal feed, and also, they crush the oil out of it and use it for cooking," says Walton.Soybeans are by far the number one food and beverage export of the United States, bringing in billion a year.So, when the White House announced 25 percent tariffs on some Chinese imports, China struck back, placing a 25 percent tariff on U.S. grown soybeans in retaliation."Using soybeans as a negotiating tool is something the Chinese understood,” says Walton. “They knew that that's one of our largest exports, so it made sense for them to target soybeans."As a result of that, and other instabilities in the market, the price of soybeans has tumbled.“It's not fun to be a pawn in this," expresses Walton.It's not just exports like soybeans feeling the pain of the tariffs. Just across the river from Iowa in Moline, Illinois is home to John Deere.The farming equipment maker says if tariffs on steel imports cost more to make its iconic green and yellow machinery, it'll charge more.John Deere says it's determined to protect profits, which topped billion in the second quarter alone this year. It is cranking out equipment at a dizzying pace, with sales up 34 percent over last year.Those rising equipment costs also hit farmers.Walton says he doesn’t blame the president alone.“There's a bunch of moving pieces in trade."There was already somewhat of a restriction for U.S. beans going into China." Walton is now working other world markets to find a solution. He just returned from Europe, where there's a growing demand for soy as well."I would say my mindset has always been outside my own farm gate," Walton says. 2512

Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich?says he is "unlikely" to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020 as an independent, but also spent Tuesday in this first-in-the-nation primary state, insisting that he is wide open to any path to the White House that may make sense."Am I going to run as an Independent? No, I'm not even thinking about that," Kasich declared during a lunch time interview with CNN at the famed Red Arrow Diner here."It's unlikely, but when you have options on the table, all options are on the table, right?" Kasich asked rhetorically.When pressed to keep traveling down this hypothetical road, Kasich tried to stop it. 649

One day after President Donald Trump signed a 0 billion stimulus bill into law, the House of Representatives voted to increase direct payments to most Americans from 0 to ,000 per person.The bill had wide Democratic support, but failed to capture a majority of Republicans. The bill passed with just over two thirds of the House voting in approval. The vote won the Democratic caucus by a 231-2 margin, Republicans voted 44-130 and independents voted 0-2.The legislation now goes to the US Senate, where its future is in question. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who largely controls what legislation gets to the floor, has been mum on whether he’ll allow the CASH Act to get a vote.Some Republicans in the Senate appear ready to back the proposal.“I share many of my colleagues’ concern about the long-term effects of additional spending, but we cannot ignore the fact that millions of working class families across the nation are still in dire need of relief,” Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said. “Congress should quickly pass legislation to increase direct payments to Americans to ,000.”Last week, Trump originally hinted he would not be supportive of signing the stimulus bill without changes. But with millions losing unemployment benefits and a number of hard-hit industries suffering, Trump signed the bill.Meanwhile, Democrats pounced on the opportunity to increase stimulus payments to ,000, a proposal that some Democrats called for early on in the pandemic.As it stands now, most Americans making less than ,000 a year will receive a 0 check (,200 for couples making under 0,000 a year)."Republicans repeatedly refused to say what amount the President wanted for direct checks," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tweeted minutes after Trump’s call for ,000 checks. "At last, the President has agreed to ,000 — Democrats are ready to bring this to the Floor this week by unanimous consent. Let’s do it!"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer similarly took aim at the president on Twitter."We spent months trying to secure ,000 checks but Republicans blocked it," Schumer tweeted. A group of progressive senators, led by Sens. Ed Markey, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris weighed ,000 per month payments to Americans amid the pandemic. That plan ultimately went no where.Until two weeks ago, direct payments were not part of the stimulus plan. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said at the time direct payments were "dead," and was focused on getting funds for the Paycheck Protection Program and enhanced unemployment passed. The varying levels of support for direct payments were enigmatic of the quarrels between the White House, House Democrats and Senate Republicans. If the proposal to increase stimulus checks to ,000 is signed, the overall cost of the stimulus bill would go from 0 billion to .36 trillion, according to House data released on Monday. 2910

On Election Night, voters from around the country will sit on the couches, grab their iPads and start paying attention to the results. While we have already profiled why results will likely take awhile this year, perhaps no state is better situated to have delayed results than Pennsylvania. WHY PA RESULTS MAY TAKE WEEKSJoe Corrigan, a political consultant in Philadelphia, says with a record number of voters voting by mail, combined with state rules regarding when ballots can be counted, results will take time. "We are seeing about 10 to 15 thousand mail-in ballots requested a day (in Pennsylvania)," Corrigan said. These ballot requests are overwhelming elections offices across the state."Pennsylvania law prohibits county boards of elections from counting any absentee ballots or mail-in ballots until 8 p.m. on Election Day when polls close," Corrigan added. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Thursday that ballots can arrive until 5 p.m. ET on the Friday after the election and still count. The ballots do have to be postmarked on or before Election Day to be counted.That doesn't even begin to take into account the state is using relatively new in-person voting machines. "I would very happy to know who won Pennsylvania by Thanksgiving," Corrigan said. WHAT IS BEING DONEElection officials know they have pending issues. In Bucks County, a suburban Philadelphia county, elections officials this week have been busy installing a 0,000 counting machine they have nicknamed "the dragon."The machine was purchased using CARES funds and is capable of sorting 24,000 ballots per hour. "The thing that slows us down the most is actually the fact you have to open two envelopes," Bob Harvie, an elections commissioner, said. "We are already planning to have 24-hour shifts," Harvie added. 1812

OCILLA, Ga. — A nurse at an immigration detention center in Georgia says authorities performed questionable hysterectomies, refused to test detainees for COVID-19 and shredded medical records.Advocacy group Project South has filed a complaint with the Homeland Security Department's internal watchdog that relies heavily on the nurse's words.That nurse, Dawn Wooten, worked at the Irwin County Detention Center in southern Georgia. In addition to holding detainees for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, it also serves those arrested by the U.S. Marshals and the Irwin County Sheriff's Department.In her complaint, Wooten called a gynecologist who works outside the facility, "the uterus collector." She claimed that nearly every inmate who saw the doctor received a hysterectomy and claimed the doctor removed the "wrong ovary" on at least one patient.Wooten said it was unclear if the patients — particularly immigrant women — knowingly agreed to the procedure, which would prevent them from having children in the future.She says she saw a sick-call nurse shred a box of detainee complaints without looking at them.Wooten claimed she was eventually fired from the facility for raising concerns about COVID-19. She said she was demoted after she missed time for presenting symptoms of the virus.She claims that inmates were likely infected with the virus at a rate much higher than reported because the facility declined to use two rapid-testing COVID-19 machines. Wooten said no staff members had been trained to use the machines and she only saw them in use once.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it will defer to the Homeland Security inspector general."That said, in general, anonymous, unproven allegations, made without any fact-checkable specifics, should be treated with the appropriate skepticism they deserve," the agency said in a statement.LaSalle Corrections, a private company that owns and operates the facility, did not respond to The Associated Press' request for comment. 2013
