If we raise too big of a ruckus over their fertilizer tariff it could come back and cost us our export market. They didn't like the high cost of corn this year just like every other livestock producer that buys feed, so they're trying to lower their feed cost next year. That will encourage more livestock production which will increase meat consumption. And that will bring them back to buy more feed in the future.
