Today Trump slaps 25% tariff steel and 10% on aluminum, he also signed a pair of presidential proclamations that will impose 25 per cent tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum starting March 12,2025 with no exceptions or exemptions.
So starting March 12/2025 Canadian steel will have 50% tariff while aluminum 35%.
US imports 75% of it aluminum from Canada, so the tariff will add $3000.00 to the price of a new vehicle just on the aluminum alone.
What's going to happen to the price of new equipment, demand of used equipment prices, parts, etc etc. while adding that to the increase in fertilizer prices, your farm had better have a good balance sheet.
As for commodities prices,can't see them improving because of Trump's tarrifs.
So for those of you who posted, you were willing to take some pain to the pocket book once Trump became POTUS, your sure going to get your fair share of hurt now.

Straight from the inquiry report.
"I do not accept the organizers’ descriptions of the protests in Ottawa as lawful, calm, peaceful, or something resembling a celebration. That may have been true at certain times and in isolated areas. It may also be the case that things that protesters saw as celebratory, such as horn honking, drinking, and dancing in the streets, were experienced by Ottawa residents as intimidating or harassing. Either way, the bigger picture reveals that the situation in Ottawa was unsafe and chaotic. The lack of safety, despite efforts by the organizers, is illustrated by the blockage of emergency lanes on Kent Street. Organizers made efforts to clear the emergency lanes but were unsuccessful in doing so on this important road. In the event of a fire in one of the large apartment buildings along that street there was potential for a real catastrophe. Propane tanks, jerry cans filled with fuel, fireworks, and other safety hazards that were being stored in the downtown core also posed serious risks. In addition to these safety risks, I accept the evidence of the residents, police, and municipal politicians that many participants took advantage of the lack of police supervision to disrupt and intimidate residents. There was disregard for both the law and the well-being of the people of Ottawa."
