[QUOTE="newfie, post: 6097942, member: 58700"] exactly i agree 100 percent. did you know many of the same culprits have either closed their markets to us or heavily tariff our farmer products to limit how much we can sell there? Trump is trying to open those markets to them with reciprocal trade. the best way for us to stop having to support farmers as much is to get those countries to open their markets to us. [LIST] [*][B]Japan[/B] - Before 2018, Japan maintained steep tariffs and quotas on U.S. agricultural goods, including a 777% tariff on rice imports outside a small quota and up to 38.5% on beef.
