Don’t Jump to Conclusions About Trump 2.0

With the incoming Trump administration, concerns have been seen over tariffs and employee shortages. National Potato Council CEO Kam Quarles says it’s still too early to jump to conclusions. “If the threat of tariffs drives countries that we partner with to the negotiating table where we can get a better deal overall for U.S. agriculture’s huge trade deficit, that will be a very good thing.” Ag labor reform is another issue that Quarles feels could benefit the economy. “Ag labor reform done properly could provide a tailwind for the U.S. economy that would carry us for decades.”
