New tariffs on imports from Canada and dozens of other countries are rippling through North Dakota’s farm economy, raising equipment and fertilizer costs while stalling key export orders — especially from China, the state’s largest soybean customer. Local ag leaders say the uncertainty makes it nearly impossible to plan for the season ahead, and the effects go far beyond the fields, touching equipment dealers, rural businesses, and community economies. Farmers want fair trade deals, but above all, they’re asking for stability in a market that’s anything but.
