As the U.S. trade war with China continues, farmers in California’s Central Valley are feeling the pinch.
Jay Mahil is one such farmer: he grows almonds in Madera, and is the fourth generation in his family to do so. He says he normally exports a lot of his crop overseas to China, but with the trade war, he and other nut growers are starting to get edged out.
“You know, some of the other countries have been capitalizing on this, especially Australia,” says Mahil.
