John Kiefner has owned a farm for several decades in central Illinois. These days, he has been following news about the Chinese president's state visit.
Kiefner says new cooperation in agriculture between China and the US will bring a lot of change to his daily life.
"Within a week, I'll be harvesting soybeans that I've grown under contract. They will be shipped to China. So, we want those markets to continue. The economy has been growing at an incredible 1 pace. Since China's such a huge trading partner for agricultural products, agricultural products that I grow, we welcome the chance for our presidents to meet and for them to do anything they can to increase trade."
Kiefner is growing 120 hectares of soybeans this year. Over a quarter of that harvest will go to China, and that alone will increase his profit by at least 20 percent.
Farm owner Rodger Kehn has also benefited from increasing trade in agriculture, as three quarters of his grain will be exported abroad. He says his family probably wouldn't lead such a good life without Chinese market.
"China comes here and buys our grain, and we're very happy with that, because we want to provide revenue 2 to feed our families here. And if we didn't have that Chinese market, probably our quality of life wouldn't be as good as it is today."
Kehn believes the Chinese market is playing a big part in the success of American agriculture.
During Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to US this week, China and the US jointly 3 announced a series of agreements on issues such as climate change, cyber space, bilateral 4 trade, and infrastructure 5 construction.
