  1. Indiana Depends on World Markets

    The state’s largest market was Canada. Indiana exported $13.9 billion in goods to Canada in 2024, representing 23 percent of the state’s total goods exports.

    Canada was followed by Mexico ($7.5 billion), Italy ($6.5 billion), China ($5.1 billion), and Germany ($4.2 billion).

  2. A lot of farmers will go out of business due to this tariff nonsense. Whole market is propped up with subsidies, foriegn trade, and convoluted policy. We just make way more food than we can ever consume.

    1. That’s why so many of them had contracts to produce food via USAID, kept farmers busy and gave them markets while also advancing American soft power around the world. Glad we fixed all that.

      I agree, let’s end all those subsidies that farmers get to shield them for the tariffs. They voted for Trump, let them feel the full consequences.

      Oh yeah, don’t worry about farmers producing so much. When we can’t get fertilizer any longer from Canada, I’m sure those yields will drop …

      “US, Canadian farmers face soaring fertilizer prices amid Trump trade war

      The U.S. imports 90% of the potash its farmers use, with 80% of those imports coming from nearby Canada, and it cannot replace that with domestic production.”

      But don’t worry, Trump’s boss can come to the rescue!

      “While Canada is not the only potash supplier to the U.S., it is the closest. Russia and Belarus are the other major players, but they have been affected by the war in Ukraine, with sanctions and port bans hurting those countries’ ability to export product.”

      Yeah, when I think quality, I think “Russian”.
