Many goods produced by Wisconsin farmers, from milk to livestock, are sold to local buyers. But farmers, like Bob Pronschinske from North Creek, know the prices they receive are directly related to the world market.

"We have to have foreign trade, anybody can figure that out," said Pronschinske, who owns a dairy farm with his son.

Pronschinske said he’s worried about the future of exports.

Since President Donald Trump placed new tariffs on steel and aluminum imports in March, trading partners like China and Mexico have placed their own taxes on United States agricultural products. Despite the retaliation, Trump has said the tariff strategy will make trade more fair for United States producers.

Pronschinske said Wisconsin farmers who voted for the president are watching the situation closely.

"If this tariff works, yes, he’s going to be a great, great president. If this foreign trade all works out for us, yeah, we’ll have prices where they need to be. But the big question is if it’s going to work," Pronschinske said.
