Agricultural Entrepreneur Chad Tentinger: Higher Tariffs May Lift Cattle Farmers

Tariff skeptics are plentiful these days. Chad Tentinger is not one of them. As a lifelong Iowa cattleman and ag entrepreneur he believes higher tariffs could give American beef producers a fighting chance in global markets. Tentinger argues that “Trump 2.0” tariffs could help balance unfair trade practices that disadvantage U.S. farmers. With deep roots in cattle production and ag infrastructure—from barn building to beef processing—he says it's time for reciprocal trade and smarter long-term policies to protect family farms and promote American-made products.
