From the Farm: Fertilizer and Tariffs

The 2024 U.S. presidential election ended two weeks ago with Donald Trump reclaiming the White House. 59% of Central Illinois voters voted for Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance.
Farmers are hoping this means lower costs for crop production, but they are holding their breath when it comes to Trump's tariff proposals. According to Josh Linville, Vice President of Fertilizer for StoneX, the tariffs could deliver a kick in the shins if they apply to the imported fertilizers that farmers need.
