A new analysis from Farm Flavor sheds light on the scale of agricultural losses that led the White House this week to announce a $12 billion bailout for American farmers. While 2025’s renewed U.S.–China trade tensions have been widely reported, the full extent of the economic damage has been harder to quantify. Using the latest USDA Foreign Agricultural Service data, Farm Flavor analyzed how deeply exports to China have fallen—and which states and products have been hit the hardest. The numbers help explain why emergency federal support was deemed necessary, and they provide a benchmark for evaluating whether the new $12 billion aid package is enough.
