The Trump tariffs are shrinking incomes and exploding expenses for farmers, who, thanks to a president they still overwhelmingly support, fear losing their farms. The double whammy of Trump tariffs is especially painful for family farms that make up about 87% of all farms in Ohio. The former president of the Ohio Farmers union — a group focused on family farmers — maintained “the industrial agricultural community is chugging right along, raking in billions of dollars” while family farmers are not making any money. Then came 2025 and another blast of Trump tariffs to hammer farmers with shattered export markets and rising input costs. But we also have exorbitant costs that never recovered since Covid.”Plus, the front-end cost of farming has been jacked up by Trump tariffs on seed, fertilizer, and machinery.
