Manitoba producers are welcoming action taken by the provincial government to cushion the impact on agriculture of the escalating Canada United States trade war. 

On August 22nd a 50 percent U.S. tariff took effect on a broad range of Canadian imports prompting the Government of Canada to announce dollar-for-dollar retaliatory countertariffs to take effect September 8th. Cam Dahl, the General Manager of Manitoba Pork, says pork and pigs are still flowing into the U.S. tariff-free but uncertainty is putting a damper on the ability of producers to invest in new capacity on the farm as well as the ability of processors to invest in new processing capacity.

AND

We've heard a lot on the Canadian side of the border how tariffs from the U.S. will impact multiple industries, including agriculture. But what about our farming counterparts in the U.S.? 

How do they feel about the trade dispute? Matt Perdue is the President of the North Dakota Farmers Union and farms near the community of Ray, North Dakota, located about an hour-and-a-half south of the Saskatchewan U.S. border.

He says the State's farming community fully understands how valuable the Canada-U.S. trade relationship is.
