Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, is among the lawmakers urging the Trump administration to lift the steel and aluminum tariffs on products brought in from Canada and Mexico. He said it's a first step to getting the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement through Congress. He also said it would improve the financial picture for farmers.

"Unfortunately we're starting to see more and more warning signs that farmers are running out of leeway with their bankers and landlords," Grassley said.

Pompeo sought to calm some of those nerves Monday even as he warned that Chinese theft of technology affects agriculture, too.

"The good news is this – help is on the way," Pompeo said. "American producers and Chinese consumers will both be better off. The outcome of President Trump's trade negotiations currently under way will pay dividends for people in each of our two countries."

Hill said he was encouraged by Pompeo's remarks.

"I think people recognize, particularly with China, they have not been playing by the rules for a long time," Hill said. "I think producers are supportive of trying to correct these issues. On the other hand, we don't want it to go on forever."
