Trade war with China is hurting Oregon farmers
The trade war with China cost Oregon cherry growers $86,000,000 in lost sales last year, according to Alexis Taylor the Director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
She added that potato farmers lost $20,000,000 in sales to China.
Taylor briefed a legislative committee of state lawmakers Monday in Salem.
