According to the Governor’s Office, the Trump administration’s tariff policies have allowed foreign competitors to horn in on markets built by Illinois farmers.
Pritzker pointed to falling soybean prices, rising production costs, global competition, and setbacks for beef farmers, as the Trump administration has announced plans to import tariff-free beef from Argentina.
“Illinois farmers deserve a federal government that opens doors for them — not one that undermines their markets and livelihoods,” said Governor JB Pritzker. “That’s why I am declaring an Agricultural Trade Crisis in Illinois and directing state agencies to expand domestic market opportunities and strengthen mental health resources for our farm families. While the Trump Administration turns its back on American agriculture, Illinois will stand with our farmers — opening markets where we can, advocating for change where we must, and fighting every day to ensure that Illinois agriculture emerges from this crisis stronger than ever.”
The order directs state agencies to develop and expand domestic markets for agricultural commodities and provide mental health services for farm families.
