About this event

Agriculture Trade & Policy: The Outlook for Midwest Grain Markets
 Featured Speaker: Professor and Andersons Chair of Agricultural Marketing, Trade and Policy at The Ohio State University, Dr. Ian Sheldon

The talk will begin with an evaluation of how U.S. implementation of across-the-board tariffs has affected the grain and oilseeds sector in the Midwest. Specifically, it will be shown that retaliation by China has had a significant impact on farm exports, notably of soybeans, and at the same time farmers are facing higher input costs. Given this environment, the talk will evaluate prospects for exports, focusing on market potential beyond China. In addition, the importance of maintaining Mexico and Canada as key trading partners will be outlined in light of the upcoming review of the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement (USMCA).
