But Wisconsin’s agricultural exporters may have a harder time selling their products to foreign markets in the face of retaliatory tariffs, said Jeff Hadachek, assistant professor of agricultural and applied economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
“At a very basic level, it means there will be a glut of food and food products that can no longer leave or leave the country at a higher cost than they previously did,” he said. “That means lower prices at the farm gate and lower prices for the food processors as well.”
