Farmers Union leader fears tariffs could devastate U.S. agriculture

By Brandon Peoples on May 3, 2025 Local News

Tariffs could spell trouble for farmers, according to the executive director of the Kansas Farmers Union.

“Tariffs are not good,” said Nick Levendofsky, who was a guest Wednesday on Within Reason with Mike Matson on KMAN. “They don’t work. Nobody wins in a trade war.”

Levendofsky said current trade policies being implemented by President Donald Trump have already begun impacting U.S. exports.

“Certainly what’s happening with China is very concerning, where last week they pulled back on importing beef from the US,” he said. “Now they’re backing off on soybeans.”
