Illinois braces for impact of new and potential tariffs: ‘Who will feel the consequences? Everyday Americans.’ – Chicago Tribune*

LaSalle County Farm Bureau President David Isermann has been keeping a close eye on the tariff talks as well. Isermann said during the first Trump term in 2018, China responded to U.S. tariffs by putting tariffs on U.S. soybeans, instead buying soybeans from Brazil. “We’ve either talked to our banker or are going to talk to our banker,” Isermann said. “And we have to explain how we’re going to get through this.”
