WATCH: Two Wisconsin farmers think Trump’s tariffs are pretty sheepish


Les Danielson and Jeff Peck are a couple of Chippewa County farmers who are worried about the future and think Trump’s tariffs are pretty sheepish. 🐑

Dairy farms support cheese factories, cornfields feed ethanol plants—diverse ag ecosystems foster the growth of a lot of industries, and drive rural communities forward.
