Farm groups are eager for details of the Chinese trade deal.
One organization has been talking to farmers coast to coast and tells us exports are their top concern.
“20 percent of US farm revenue comes from exports, so if our exports decline, our farmers decline, and that’s really scary. Farmers are also price takers when it comes to input.
