Minnesota Senator Tina Smith was in Wheaton on Friday, hosting a farm roundtable discussion. “Something that comes up over and over again is discussion over the modernization of rules and regulations that farmers have to deal with, and it could be loan limits that have to be updated because they haven’t been modernized in decades or the way USDA updates its programs.” The rollercoaster ride with tariffs was also top of mind. “With tariffs constantly changing, farmers are always trying to figure out and find a way forward, but when you don’t know what the tariffs are going to be from one minute to the next, it becomes a problem.”
