By: Rochester Business Journal – March 7, 2025
“International trade between the U.S. and China is now at a crucial juncture. Will President Trump succeed in extracting concessions from China by imposing tariffs on the imports from this nation?

“How New Tariffs on Mexico and Canada Affect Wisconsin Industries”
By: WPR - March 6, 2025
“They’re trying to monitor what’s going on as best they can. When farmers don’t know what’s going on, they tend to hunker down… It depends on how long these tariffs stay in place. If this is a short term negotiating tool by Trump, it’s just causing a short-term shock.”

“Rural residents like Williams paid nearly $13 more a month on average in late 2020 for slow internet connections than those in urban areas, according to Brian Whitacre, an agricultural economics professor at Oklahoma State University. You’re more likely to have competition in an urban area.”

“Foreign Ownership of U.S. Farmland is Still Small But Has Increased, Analysis Shows”
By: IPR – January 27, 2025
“The restrictions on foreign ownership of agricultural land do not extend to land used for other purposes. Farmland seems to hold a special position in our society. I guess we're really interested in monitoring the ownership in agricultural land, because agriculture really is the backbone of the Midwest, if not a whole larger part of the entire U.S., so we really want to keep it local.”

“Food Inflation Was 0% Last Month. But People Aren’t Feeling Relief”
By: Marketplace – March 12, 2025
“That’s especially true for lower-cost, higher-value items like eggs. Two things matter: The price of eggs matters, but the price of the thing that I’m substituting also matters.”
“There was no change in grocery prices, but there was a lot of movement within categories”
“An alternative like breakfast sausage might be too big of a price leap. And for bakers, there isn’t a perfect substitute for eggs at all. Plus, after years of high prices and grocery cart trade-offs, people are tired.”

“Farmer's Market Vendors in San Francisco Grapple With Uncertainty Over Tariffs”
By: CBS News –March 7, 2025
“The economic uncertainty is making it difficult for farmers to plan ahead. It's still too early to determine the full impact of tariffs and supply chain disruptions on local farmers. The worst thing right now is the uncertainty of it. What we do know — and there's no debate about it among economists — is that putting on tariffs raises costs for consumers and producers, and the economy as a whole loses."

“How Will Tariffs Affect Ag Trade? We Asked an Economist”
By: Lancaster Farming - March 14, 2025
“The new tariffs' impact will be multifaceted. Since the tariffs can be potentially set or modified for multiple countries, having an estimate of their impact on farm economy is much more difficult than the trade war we had in 2018. In the short run, most farmers in the Midwest, including Ohio, are likely to experience a significant negative shock.”

By: abc 11 – March 13, 2025
“If the tariff were to take effect, a $20 bottle could spike to $50 and a glass in restaurants might be the same price as your main entrée. People are pretty much going to stop buying it.”
