Tariffs on some U.S. ag commodities have been lifted after the U.S. and European Union settled a steel and aluminum dispute and ag leaders say they are hopeful for a restored partnership.
National Corn Growers Association president Chris Edgington, an Iowa farmer, tells Brownfield the EU’s 25 percent tariff on U.S. corn serves as an example of how agriculture seems to be the first industry to take a hit in trade disputes.
“It was all about steel and aluminum and agriculture got drug into it,” he says.
