A guest article from ClimateAi discusses how grain buyers face tariffs, with most supplier countries under a 90-day 10% blanket tariff started April 9, while Canada, the largest US supplier of oats and barley, is exempt under USMCA. It also notes climate trends have reduced yields of barley, maize and wheat by 4-13% over 50 years.
Tariffs and climate-driven yield losses raise procurement costs and tighten supply options for grain buyers, supporting firmer prices for affected feed grains.
