The U.S.-Canada trade fight escalated Friday night, with 50% tariffs taking effect and Canada suspending negotiations.
For American farmers already battling high input costs, weather pressure, and uncertain export markets, another trade war could quickly hit both farm decisions and what consumers pay at the grocery store.
The greatest concern may not be the immediate tariff impact but the uncertainty surrounding future trade relations. Major farm sectors depend on stable market access, predictable transportation networks, and integrated supply chains.
