Chad Hart, associate professor, was interviewed for a July 20th Des Moines Register story "Iowa farmers' angst grows as tariffs mount. But many still back Trump and his allies...for now."
"But producers that weren't as aggressive likely are feeling squeezed with the dramatic erosion in prices," Hart said. "And there's nothing on the horizon that will bring those prices up," given likely strong U.S. yields and reduced exports.
"Our problem is that we have trade disputes with China. With Mexico. With Canada. With the EU (European Union). Basically all our trading partners."
Hart was also quoted in a July 20 Ames Tribune article on Senator Charles Grassley's feelings on ag fallout from tariffs.
And in a July 24th Reuters story "Factbox: USDA's $12 billion farmer relief package" about the Trump administration's proposed aid for American farmers for losses due to trade disputes.
He was also quoted in a July 25th story on CNN Politics.
