In Wisconsin, WPR reported that Wisconsin’s soybean farmers are nervously eyeing new regulations proposed by the European Union that would restrict imports of crops that contain certain pesticides.
Shawn Conley, professor and the state soybean and small grain specialist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, recently said that the new regulations hit some Wisconsin farmers hard.
Doug Rebout, who was elected last month as the president of the Wisconsin Soybean Association, agreed that the EU’s proposed regulations could be a blow to the state’s farmers.
“We won’t be able to export as many soybeans — that can greatly affect our prices,”Rebout said.
