Welcome to Corn Comments, I’m DaNita Murray, Executive Director at South Dakota Corn. We are brought to you by the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council, a volunteer group of farmers who promote corn marketing in this state, the U.S. and around the globe.
It’s estimated that more than 50% of U.S. crop protection products have an active ingredient or use intermediates originating outside our borders. For instance, recent data shows 100% of atrazine and a significant portion of glyphosate coming into this country from China.
We are concerned about tariffs on these and other products continuing to increase production costs, leading to decreasing if not negative margins for producers.
President Trump recently gave China 90 more days to negotiate before tariff rates snap back to north of 150%. This brings the deadline to mid-November. Stay tuned for these and other updates.
