The U.S. agriculture industry, comprising less than 2% of the population, plays a critical role in feeding both the domestic and global market. With rising tariffs due to trade conflicts with China, farmers are increasingly anxious about potential losses. This concern is heightened by data showing that a staggering 40% of U.S. produce goes uneaten, alongside ongoing labor issues. Farmers, such as John Pihl, express fears that countries like Mexico may turn to South American imports instead, significantly affecting crops like corn and soybeans.
"Mexico is our biggest importer of corn. But this time, they may figure out that they can get corn from South America just as easily as from the U.S.".
"40% of food grown and produced in the United States is never eaten, highlighting the wastefulness alongside labor hardships and trade relationship destruction.".
