Wisconsin dairy farmer says domestic concerns bigger than Canadian trade policy issues

A Wisconsin dairy farmer says domestic problems may be a bigger threat to his industry than Canadian trade policy. James Juedes, who owns a dairy farm that has been in his family for more than a century, said, “If we would’ve had the foresight to do what Canada did 10-15 years ago, to limit what we had for production, we wouldn’t be in this situation.” Instead of focusing on Canada, Juedes is more worried about the American dairy hurting itself by producing more milk than the U.S. can handle. Meanwhile, President Trump is punishing Canada for tariffs that effectively keep most American milk out of the country. Juedes said, “The trade policy thing is not the cure all for what’s happening here.”
