North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne is worried about the current tariff strategy. “I’ve been fortunate to travel the world,” said Watne. “China is trying to replace us and folks think they’ll automatically come back to the table; they won’t.” Around the world, Brazil is expanding its crop production, India and Africa have goals of becoming self sufficient in food production. “Plus, we’re making enemies of our friends. This is a lose-lose (situation). It needs to stop quick or we’re going to have a problem and it will be a long-term problem.” Listen to RRFN’s interview with Watne.
