Experts Discuss Potential Impact of Trade and Immigration Policies on U.S. Agriculture

Madison, WI – Industry experts and economists gathered at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Wisconsin Agricultural Outlook Forum to discuss the potential effects of proposed trade and immigration policies on the U.S. agricultural sector. The forum, an annual event for industry leaders, addressed key concerns regarding tariffs, labor shortages, and supply chain disruptions.

Potential Trade Policy Changes and Agricultural Exports

One of the main topics of discussion was the potential introduction of tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. According to Chuck Nicholson, associate professor of agricultural and applied economics at UW-Madison, changes in trade policy could have significant economic implications for farmers in Wisconsin and across the U.S.

“If certain proposed policies are implemented, there could be notable economic challenges for the agricultural sector,” Nicholson said.

During the discussion, panelists examined the role of Canada, Mexico, and China in the U.S. dairy industry. Data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicates that in 2023, these three countries accounted for half of all U.S. dairy exports. Wisconsin’s Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection also identified these nations as the top markets for the state’s agricultural exports.

Nicholson noted that while dairy exports have expanded to Southeast Asia, potential trade disruptions with major buyers could create challenges.

“It will be difficult to fully offset potential negative impacts if trade with key export destinations is affected,” he said.

Cody Heller, CEO of Central Wisconsin Ag Services, highlighted concerns about how tariffs could impact the broader agricultural supply chain. He pointed out that agricultural equipment and packaging materials imported from Mexico could be affected, leading to increased costs for farmers and manufacturers.

Immigration Policy and Agricultural Workforce

The forum also addressed potential changes in immigration policy and their impact on the agricultural workforce. A report from UW-Madison estimates that individuals without legal status make up approximately 70% of the labor force on Wisconsin dairy farms.

Heller emphasized the potential economic consequences of a labor shortage, stating that restrictions on the agricultural workforce could have widespread effects across multiple industries. However, he also expressed skepticism about the likelihood of large-scale workforce reductions.

“Many sectors, including manufacturing, hospitality, and construction, rely on this labor force,” Heller said. “A significant reduction in this workforce could have broad economic implications.”

Kelly Wilfert, a farm management specialist with UW-Madison’s Division of Extension, advised farmers and agricultural workers to stay informed about legal processes and resources available to them.

“There is value in understanding the relevant policies and knowing what steps can be taken to prepare,” Wilfert said. She also noted that the Wisconsin Farm Center offers resources to help individuals manage concerns related to labor and stress.

As discussions on trade and immigration policies continue, experts at the forum emphasized the importance of monitoring potential changes and their implications for the agricultural sector.
