The tariffs from 2016, particularly those enacted during the Trump administration, had several notable effects on U.S. agriculture:
Decrease in Agricultural Exports: Retaliatory tariffs from countries like China, Canada, Mexico, the European Union, India, and Turkey significantly impacted U.S. agricultural exports. For example, U.S. agricultural exports to China decreased by 63% between 2017 and 2018, from $15.8 billion to $5.9 billion. Soybeans, sorghum, and pork were among the commodities most affected, with soybeans accounting for the majority of the decline.
Government Support Programs: To mitigate the impact on farmers, the Trump administration provided unprecedented levels of financial support. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) used the Commodity Credit Corporation to borrow nearly $30 billion to provide relief through programs like the Market Facilitation Program (MFP), the Food Purchase and Distribution Program, and the Agricultural Trade Promotion Program. This support was critical as it meant that 40% of national farm income in 2019 came from federal programs, raising concerns about dependency on government aid.
Financial Strain and Bankruptcies: Despite federal aid, the agriculture sector experienced increased financial stress. Farm bankruptcies rose, and there were reports of increased debt and decreased solvency among farmers. The trade war contributed to a situation where agriculture incomes would have shown no growth in 2019 without federal assistance.
Shift in Market Dynamics: The tariffs led to a reorientation of trade patterns. U.S. farmers had to find new markets for their products, often at lower prices or higher costs due to logistical changes. Countries like Brazil and Argentina saw increased market share in places like China, which reduced its reliance on U.S. agricultural products.
Increased Costs: Tariffs on imports like steel and aluminum raised the costs for machinery and equipment used in agriculture, affecting the sector's overall expenses.
Long-term Impact on Production and Trade: There was a concern that the disruptions caused by tariffs might have long-lasting effects on the U.S. agricultural sector, including changes in planting decisions and export strategies. The loss of market access, particularly to China, forced some farmers to store surplus crops or sell at a loss.
Public and Political Sentiment: The tariffs and their effects on agriculture became a significant point of discussion in political discourse, with farmers expressing mixed feelings. Despite the economic toll, many farmers continued to support Trump, influenced by the aid provided and hope for future trade agreements.
In summary, while the tariffs were intended to address trade imbalances, they had a profound and largely negative impact on U.S. agriculture, necessitating significant government intervention to support the sector.

These beautiful souls speak the truth about America.
If it stings a little to hear some of it, you might need to look into why that

@DoctorJack16 Kamala seeks to promote economic equity and growth for the poor and Middle class. Trump wants to make his friends richer so they can make him richer. Now, do i think an open border is a good idea? No buy i do believe creating a work program where they can come work for a time...
@DoctorJack16 You are correct that people are having a difficult time articulating why they are voting for Kamala over Trump. People sometimes have a hard time with words when emotions kick in. Kamala speaks to our better nature. Trump to our most violent and racist tendencies.
I was honored to join VP Harris in Ripon, WI, the birthplace of the Republican Party. Here are my full remarks explaining why I believe it is essential to vote for @KamalaHarris to protect our freedom and our Constitutional system.
BREAKING: In a shocking announcement , Donald Trump just said he plans on firing America’s leading Generals and replacing them with MAGA Generals. This is what fascism looks like. Retweet to make sure all Americans see this
@JohnC32116200@BarbraStreisand Do you have a cell phone? There's not a single cell phone manufactured in the United States. I guarantee a good percentage of the parts in your car were manufactured overseas. Most of your clothing is made in Vietnam or India or China. Enjoy those tariffs
Big shoutout to this woman breaking down exactly why MAGA dipshits just can’t let go of their orange messiah, no matter what he does or says.
Note: She’s much more eloquent than I am - at no time does she refer to them as “the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.”
@JohnC32116200@BarbraStreisand You clearly don't read the labels on anything you buy. A huge percentage of products sold here are made elsewhere. There are some products that are impossible to buy American. So who do you think pays those tariffs at the end of the day?
@siIentmajority@BarbraStreisand It's hilarious you mention the NASDAQ composite, but none of the other stock market measures... because they were all completely irratic under Trump. Not to mention a tax policy that screwed over so many people with multiple jobs. Easy tax returns my ass.
BREAKING: In a stunning admission, one of the most conservative Senators, Senator James Lankford, admits that it was Donald Trump who sabotaged the toughest border security legislation proposed in decades. Retweet to make sure every American sees this
