"The experts that we interviewed, the academics, political scientists say that seems a bit of a stretch. Every nation takes different steps to try to put forth its perspective. America has things like voice of America. I think farmers are a very savvy bunch. They are very much up on issues like international trade. I don't think they saw anything new in that advertorial."

"Quite frankly some people might not have seen it. But certainly a lot of people might have heard about it after the fact. And I think most people, it didn't make an impact one way or another.

Iowa media and farmers refuted the allegations by U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence that China is politically meddling ahead of the U.S. midterm elections after the Iowa-based daily newspaper Des Moines Register printed an advertorial, an advertisement in the form of news and analysis, sponsored by China Daily.
"The experts that we interviewed, the academics, political scientists say that seems a bit of a stretch. Every nation takes different steps to try to put forth its perspective. America has things like voice of America. I think farmers are a very savvy bunch. They are very much up on issues like international trade. I don't think they saw anything new in that advertorial," said Carol Hunter, executive editor of the Des Moines Register.
The four-page supplement appeared in the middle of the newspaper and included a story about the ongoing trade dispute.

On the Kimberley Farm in nearby Maxwell, a farm that Chinese President Xi Jinping visited while on an official trip to the U.S. in 2012, the farm owner’s son doubted many Iowan farmers would have read too much significance into the supplement.

With harvest season in full swing, the various trade disputes are continuing to make front page news in Iowa. Many farmers there simply hope for a solution to the trade issue.
