Ag leaders have widely varying opinions on whether U.S. agriculture has benefited from trade policies under the Trump Administration.
President of the Michigan Agri-Business Association Chuck Lippstreu says more can still be done to benefit agriculture and current tariffs put a ceiling on the industry. “The challenges with the tariffs and trade wars that we’ve seen is that we could be doing even more.”
For Jose Jimenez, the VP of Commercial and Market Development at Zeeland Farm Services Inc., he believes there has been a lot of improvement but tells Brownfield there has also been a gray cloud over trade which has brought uncertainty.
