Wisconsin agricultural exports reached a record more than $2 billion in the first half of 2026, up 5% from the same period in 2025, according to a state report. Exports to China fell by $41 million, or 45%, amid retaliatory tariffs; China is a major market for Wisconsin soybeans and dairy-cow genetics.
Lower exports to China weaken demand for U.S. soybeans and related products, although growth in total Wisconsin agricultural exports partly offsets that decline. The overall price effect is limited because the report covers a broad state export basket.
After 803 past bearish trade events, Soybeans moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (51% higher; middle half -1.7% to +1.7%), and +0.9% over 20.
