    It was late in 2024 that most soy farmers settled on their plans for this year. And what a year 2024 had been. It was one of the most highly profitable years for soybeans ever. And for the many farmers who had switched to the "beans" a decade before, they must have felt prescient. The demand for Soy in the States had continued to gradually strengthen, as many Americans sought out the healthy, vegetarian alternative to red meat.

    From Ukraine to Iran to Venezuela, our country is currently involved in a series of near geo-conflicts. It's a situation that we've never seen in the modern era. Yet most people seem totally oblivious to these possible dangers. It is especially true for Wall Street, where most of the investing class dismisses any risk with a shrug. The urgency of these conflicts and the need for immediate attention cannot be overstated.

    However, it's only now that we're beginning to feel the added pinch of this new import tax. Because it takes time for imports to reach American ports, be transported to local stores and shops, it has taken this long for us to see those new, tariff-laden goods. Labor Day Weekend was the beginning of what we anticipate will be a sustained elevation in prices due to tariffs. Regrettably, we're only at the first chapter of what will likely be a very long story, one that may have a profound financial influence on us all.
