Heading into 2020

Senior Vice President and CFO David G. Barnes mentioned both coronavirus and the U.S./China trade deal when looking into the new year. “The agricultural market remains challenged, and we do not believe that the Phase one trade deal will have a meaningful positive impact on our agricultural business in 2020,” said Barnes. “We are actively monitoring the potential impact coronavirus could have.
