Iowa hosts the first contests for those running for the White House. It’s unclear whether Trump will face a serious challenge from a fellow Republican, but Democratic hopefuls have descended on the state since the start of the year. And climate change is now one of the top three issues that Democratic Iowa caucus-goers wanted to hear about, according to a new Des Moines Register/CNN/Mediacom Iowa Poll.
Farmers were already hurting because of retaliatory tariffs imposed by China and elsewhere. These have caused overseas sales of soybeans and other goods to plummet and contributed to a 19 percent increase in farm bankruptcy filings in the Midwest last year compared to 2017, according to the American Farm Bureau.
