BEIJING, June 6 (Xinhua) -- A team of Xinhua reporters traveled to the U.S. agricultural state of Iowa in late May to hear how farmers are weathering another season overshadowed by the Trump administration's renewed tariff battles against major trading partners.

Xinhua News Agency will release five feature stories highlighting voices from across Iowa, providing a glimpse into how farmers adjust to sudden policy changes, volatile markets and delayed assistance. Lacking clear guidance, they rely on grit, strategy and the hope that stability will eventually be restored.

The stories are as follows:

"We're trading corns and soybeans, not missiles" -- The Pelletts

"You just roll with it" -- The Griffieons

"You don't know what's coming" -- The Renzes

"It's about dialogue, not just deals" -- The Kimberleys

"Trade is not a weapon" -- Hurburgh
