The Trump Administration is expected to announce an aid package for American soybean farmers as early as Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.

It's in response to China's holdout in soybean purchases this year. President Trump is expecting to release $10 billion in money generated from tariffs imposed on other countries.

"A new trade deal is what we need," said Bill Waters, a soybean farmer.

Waters is a first-generation farmer on both sides of the Kansas and Missouri state line. Half of his operation is corn and the other is soybeans.

This year, he's getting creative to pay his bills, selling off old equipment as cost of production has skyrocketed.

"We're going backwards before we even put it in the ground and we gotta play the weather," he said.
