Iowa (RI) — Some farmers are unsure what impact the tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China announced by President Donald Trump will have on them.
Farmer Jason Orr tells KCRG-TV it’s a waiting game after the tariffs were announced this weekend.
Orr says he understands how the tariffs could benefit the US.
But he knows there also could be negative impacts on local farmers.
Farmers could also find themselves forced to cut back to save money. The Iowa Corn Growers Association is bracing for the tariffs too. Nolan Lyness the Association’s District 3 Field Manager and tells KCRG they are working to help farmers find other outlets to sell their corn.
Orr says President Trump didn’t fulfill all his promise to help farmers in his last term, but says they’ve put a lot of faith in him for this second time around.
