(Radio Iowa) – The Iowa Soybean Association held its annual farmer roundtable in Sioux City Thursday. Association president Brent Swart of Spencer says tariffs are the key topic of discussion.
He says they learned from the last time the tariffs were put on China in 2018.
He says trade wars with Canada and Mexico are also a concern, as is the impact of bird flu.
Swart says they also have concerns about getting a new farm bill passed in Congress.
