Tariff Update

On Monday morning last week, it was announced that the US-Canada tariffs would be on pause for 30 days.

Both sides have paused their proposed 25% tariffs.

The uncertainty for Ontario Farmers is high.

No one knows how this will play out.

And for many, planning is becoming challenging.

Here are some ideas that might help:

✅ Find New Buyers – Shift exports to Europe (CETA), Japan (CPTPP), and domestic retailers like Loblaws and Sobeys. Smaller operations may consider targeting smaller grocers and local restaurants.

✅ Lock in Costs – Pre-purchase fertilizer, animal feed, and greenhouse heating fuel before prices spike. Pork and beef farmers can explore grain-fed vs. grass-fed cost adjustments.

✅ Plan Logistics – Use rail instead of trucking for grains and livestock to reduce transport costs. You can also cooperate with local processors to keep products in Canada.

✅ Use Government Support – Apply for AgriStability (income loss protection), AgriInvest (savings matching), and export market grants.
