“Canadian Government Takes Anti-Tariff Message to Wisconsin's Highways”
By: WPR – March 28, 2025
“I can’t think of a single time that another government has taken a very proactive kind of marketing campaign like this,” Deller said. I think it’s extreme nervousness about how these tariffs will disrupt trade.”

“Cattle on Feed Report Shows 2% Decline”
By: High Plains Journal – March 29, 2025
“The magnitude of decline was larger than most would have expected. Time will tell if this is more of a timing issue (with changes in Mexican feeder cattle imports) or a more aggregate reduction in placements here early in 2025.”

“Beef Producers, Crop Farmers Eye Policy Changes, Market Prices”
By: Morning Ag Clips – March 29, 2025
“Those planting soybeans this year are doing so to maintain their agronomic rotation and are hoping that if enough acres shift to corn, soybean prices could improve in the fall. For livestock, and especially cattle, producers, the boost in corn area should translate into a continuation of lower feed costs. So, the challenge for crop producers is to the benefit of livestock producers.”

“Could Egg Supply and Demand Be Helping Avian Flu Spread?”
By: Public News Service – April 2, 2025
"If you're lucky enough to not have been hit by bird flu, then your costs haven't changed very much, and the price of eggs is double," Aaron Smith, Gordon Rausser Distinguished Chair and Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Berkeley, tells Sentient. "So you're making some pretty big profits right there."

“Trump’s Tariffs on Canada and Mexico Could Spell Trouble For Distilled Spirits”
By: The Conversation – March 26, 2025
“In early March 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump levied import tariffs of 25% on goods from Canada and Mexico, following through on a promise he made back in November 2024. While he later partially reversed course, suspending tariffs on some goods, tensions remain high. Mexico is largely holding off on retaliation, but Canada quickly fired back with counter-tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of U.S. products.”

“‘A Huge Blow’: USDA Cuts Threaten to Throw Wisconsin’s Local Food Supply Into Disarray”
By: CNN – March 30, 2025
“The cuts will be particularly hard on midsize producers, who are too large to rely solely on farmers markets but too small to compete in large-scale commodity markets. Without programs like LFPA many farmers may be forced to sell into lower-paying national markets — or risk their crops going unsold altogether.”

“California Farmers Fear Tariff Trade War Losses in Billions, Uneven Bailouts”
By: The Fresno Bee – April 1, 2025
“I can’t see Elon Musk giving thumbs up to a huge bailout to farmers. It also brings into question all these other farm programs. When are they going to realize, gee whiz, maybe we shouldn’t be spending money on all these other things, like crop insurance, subsidies and so on.”

“3 States Issue Warnings About Unsolicited Packages of Seeds”
By: The New York Times – March 31, 2025
“It’s hard to know the real intent behind the seed packets, but in the past these have been tied to scams. People who receive the packages should be cautious but not alarmed, he said. “The biggest thing is don’t plant them — and contact your local or state-level agriculture office and let them be aware.”

“Federal Policy Uncertainty lowers Farmer Sentiment”
By: Capital Press – April 2, 2025
“That was still 25 points higher than it was back in October. Falloffs in key crop prices since mid-February also were an important factor in farmers’ sentiment change… Producers’ outlook for ag exports, which predominantly have been a real source of growth in the U.S. ag sector for decades, really shifted.”

“Did Trump Really Bring Down the Price of Eggs By Half?”
By: Yahoo! Finance – April 3, 2025
“Since the first week of March, the wholesale cost of white eggs has come down by about 56% to $3 a dozen, according to the Department of Agriculture’s weekly data. However, the drop likely has less to do with the administration’s work than with a decrease in demand from consumers who’ve been stung by the steep price of an omelette. I think the administration’s efforts on the egg front are good moves, but I think they are more long-term boosts in nature.”
