About this listen
In this episode, we look at how shifting U.S. tariffs are impacting North Dakota’s farmers and agricultural businesses. As new tariffs take effect, especially those on imports from Canada and China, farmers are seeing increased equipment costs, delayed deliveries, and growing uncertainty about future trade relationships.
Michael breaks down what’s happening on the ground, including insight from soybean growers, ag suppliers, and business owners caught in the crosshairs. The discussion touches on fertilizer price hikes, disappearing orders from China, and how ripple effects from global trade decisions are being felt across rural communities and supply chains.
Key Topics:
- The impact of July 31st tariff announcements on ag imports
- North Dakota soybean exports and the stalled China trade relationship
- Fertilizer prices and Canada’s key role in U.S. ag input supplies
- Rising equipment costs from tariffs on steel, aluminum, and copper
- Why rural communities feel the shockwaves from global trade
- The urgent need for certainty in agriculture policy and planning
