With trade wars escalating, Mexico has now imposed tariffs on American cheese, apples, potatoes and pork. 

This is bound to increase pressure on many struggling farmers, and is in direct response to American-imposed tariffs on Mexican aluminum and steel.

Representatives for U. S. farmers have been speaking out.  Angela Hofmann of Farmers for Free Trade recently declared:  Farmers need certainty and open markets to make ends meet.  Right now they are getting chaos and protectionism.
