We export about 25% of the pork we produce. Chicken, corn, and beans are also relatively high.
Reduced exports generally means more domestic supply which will reduce prices. On the crop side, land value will be reduced as well. we are one of the best ag producers in the world, and much of the free trade agreements have been backed heavily by ag to get more exports.
