Good Wheat Marketing Seeing Results

Despite a strong marketing year for US wheat, tariffs have not posed a major obstacle. Ralph Loose is the director of communications for US Wheat Associates. He shares his perspective on why exports remain strong.

“At this point, the wheat trade has not been affected by the tariff situation. Now you know you say the tariff situation, who knows it comes and goes and but at this point, we have not seen an impact at all from all the tariffs that actually have been implemented, and discussion which can be even more harmful if countries fear that a tariff is coming, but at this point, it has not affected the wheat trade. Looking forward, we don't expect the numbers to be drastically altered next year, when we're sitting here talking next year. Now that could change. I mean, I could be saying just the opposite, if it does begin to impact the wheat trade, but at this point, we haven't seen any effects at all from tariffs or the ongoing trade discussions, I guess is the best way to put it.”
