Yet, while Bardole believes the ever-escalating trade war between America and China is bad for everyone involved--including the U.S. soybean industry and him personally--he gives the president slack on this issue.

"I understand where President Trump's coming from," he said. "Because the United States does a very good job, I believe, in following the WTO regulations, the World Trade Organization. There's a lot of countries that don't."

Bardole voted for Trump, and he says while the trade agreements the president rails against have actually been good for the U.S. ag industry, he also says they've been bad for other industries. However, Bardole believes in putting the country ahead of himself.

"I have to support my family," he said, "but I also care about somebody working in a factory in Pennsylvania. They have to provide for their family, too."
