By: Yahoo! News – March 11, 2025
“Immediate impact might be on steel imports from Canada. As we look at Canada and we’re seeing a lot of discussion around those steel and aluminum tariffs, which won’t impact agriculture.”

“When Gratuitous Cruelty Becomes Foreign Policy: Three Impacts”
By: Medium – March 18, 2025
“President Donald Trump’s quixotic approach in which gratuitous cruelty becomes foreign policy has been on display twice in recent times. First, he insulted and angered Canadians with his repeated references to Canada as the 51st American state. Second, in a scene never witnessed before in the White House in modern times, he and Vice President J.D. Vance, unnecessarily castigated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for the cardinal error of standing up for his beleaguered nation and for pointing out that Russian President Putin could not be trusted. Both these misguided actions are likely to have significant implications for global stability and U.S. strategic interests.”

“Some Countries Aren’t Retaliating Against Trump’s Tariffs. Should Canada ‘Turn the Other Cheek’?”
By: Sky News – March 14, 2025
“Ottawa has a free trade agreement with Washington and has remained in talks — attempting a diplomatic solution — as this crisis developed. Retaliation is very justified. There’s nothing we can do anymore, we’ve exhausted every medium of negotiation. So we are pushed to the wall.”

“U.S. Tariffs Would Have Little Effect on Canada's 'Cartelized' Dairy Industry, Experts Say”
By: CBC – March 16, 2025
“Canada's supply management system for dairy, egg and poultry can be a "trade irritant" among the country's major trading partners, as it excludes similar products made by those partners from the Canadian market. If more American supply-managed products were allowed into Canada, that would result in lower prices and probably wider selection of products in Canada. But to be honest, I don't really anticipate much of that happening anytime soon."

“Extreme Heat Impacts Dairy Production, and Small Farms Are Most Vulnerable”
By: Phys.org – March 18, 2025
“Cows are mammals like us, and they experience heat stress just like we do. When cows are exposed to extreme heat, it can have a range of negative physical effects. There is an increased risk of infection, restlessness, and decreased appetite, which leads to a decline in milk yield. For dairy producers, the heat impact is a direct hit on their revenue.”

“More Young Farmers Seeking College Degrees Despite Rising Tuition”
By: KCRG – January 28, 2025
“There’s a cycle to it. Whenever agriculture is going through a downturn, we always see more enrollment happen… So, regardless of the rising costs, we just are going to have to select some folks who are continuing the legacy of farming, and some folks who are connected with the ag industry in other ways.”

“Canadian Tourism to Syracuse Hit By Tariffs and Economic Uncertainty”
By: CNY Central – March 19, 2025
"I think that overall, that we're hoping to see that this is not a permanent shock. If it is a permanent shock, then this essentially means that purchasing some of the products that you would normally buy in from Syracuse for Canadian citizens would be more costly. He warned that this could lead to "potentially further damage and long-term market loss for some of the malls and the shops in Syracuse and other parts of upstate New York."

“Trump’s Trade War Roils a Key Voter Base”
By: Foreign Policy – February 9, 2025
“Those are all important markets, and the idea of having trade wars on multiple fronts is actually quite disturbing for the agricultural sector. Just the uncertainty right now is a big concern.”
“U.S. agriculture kind of tends to have a boom-and-bust cycle anyway—and a lot of farmers are used to this—but this would be kind of a self-inflicted bust cycle.”
