Montana wheat farmer, Nathan Keane, from Upham Farm in north central Montana, expressed concerns about President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. Keane, also the Secretary of the National Association of Wheat Growers, highlighted the potential impacts on family farms and the agricultural industry as a whole. With commodity prices dropping and fertilizer prices expected to rise due to tariffs, farmers like Keane face challenges in turning a profit. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs from countries like Canada, China, and Mexico could further disrupt the export market for U.S. farmers. As Montana is the third largest wheat producer in the nation, maintaining good relationships with export markets like Mexico and China is crucial. Despite the uncertainty, Keane remains hopeful for his family’s farm and emphasizes the importance of negotiations to prevent long-term losses for farmers. The agricultural industry in Montana heavily relies on export markets, making the impact of tariffs a significant concern for farmers like Keane.
