Unscripted: Ag Economist Dan Basse Weighs in on Tariffs, Trade Wars and the Livestock Boom

It’s been a turbulent couple of weeks as the new Trump administration hits the ground running. Ag industry folks are watching closely as high tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China threaten to set off trade wars. On this episode of Unscripted, Tyne and Clinton host long-time ag economist Dan Basse, president of AgResource Company, a domestic and international agricultural research firm in Chicago. Viewers should consider wearing oven mitts to handle Dan’s hot takes on tariffs, trade wars, biofuels, the livestock market and government “demolition.”.
