Bill Pellett and his son Bret checks the purchase record of corn seeds before planting at their family farm in Atlantic of Cass county, Iowa, the United States, April 24, 2019. Bill Pellett knows how to farm, but just like most of his peers across the country, the 71-year-old farmer is feeling less assured of what he could get from a new year of farming, as there appears to be no quick resolution of the year-long trade disputes between the United States and China.
