This is Bob Bragg with the Farm News and Views Report for the week of April 7th. In early March, Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, , “To the Great farmers of the United States: Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE of the United States. Tariffs will go on external product on April 2nd. Have fun!” But most ag producers couldn’t change the composition of either their livestock or crop enterprises for 2025.

This is Bob Bragg with the Farm News & Views Report for the first week of April. Over the past nine weeks or so since a new administration took over in Washington D.C., the stock markets have taken a beating, with the Standard & Poors 500 market index down about 10% from mid January. The agricultural economy has also been affected, with declines in many commodity prices, like soybeans, corn, cotton, wheat and pork setting at prices that are 5% to 8% lower than were in early January.

The Ag Economists’ Monthly Monitor survey, administered by Farm Journal Magazine, is sent monthly to agricultural economists nationwide to gauge their perspectives on important drivers of agriculture. The majority of respondents in the March survey agree that the U.S. is currently involved in a trade war. The Trump Administration contends the U.S. is in the driver's seat, and by using tariffs as a negotiating tool, he’ll restore his version of fair trade.
