Tariffs on U.S. commodities would create more issues, Farmers For Free Trade warns

Farmers For Free Trade is warning any tariffs on U.S. commodities would create more issues for an already hurting industry.

Using an analysis from the National Corn Growers Association, they found another trade war would cause corn exports to china to drop 80 percent, and they predict soybean exports would be cut in half.

The group also warns any additional tariffs would hurt rural economies, and would only strengthen international competitors.
