Summary
U.S. barley farmers face mounting financial pressure as Trump’s tariffs spark fears of losing key export markets.
Canada, the top importer of U.S. malt barley, has already imposed retaliatory tariffs, and Mexico may follow. Farmers warn that rising fertilizer and chemical costs, combined with declining U.S. beer consumption, threaten their survival.
Breweries may absorb or pass higher costs to consumers, potentially raising beer prices.
Experts say tariffs could devastate barley exports, with industry leaders calling them a major blow to struggling American farmers.
They said less beer, not less alcohol.
As someone who has enjoyed cannabis daily for likely longer than you’ve been alive, there is nothing more annoying than the “all drugs are bad except weed, which is a gift from God” people.
Dude, I don’t use cannabis or alcohol. I have no personal stake in this game. I care about this solely from a public health perspective and acknowledge that 1) cannabis is substantially less unhealthy than alcohol and 2) cannabis legalization correlates with a decrease in alcohol sales. I don’t care how long you’ve been alive; being alive longer isn’t an argument, so quit being condescending and piss off.
Oh good, it was meant to be condescending. Glad it came across. I don’t recall ever saying you did use either.
Even here you couldn’t help yourself and had to post articles about this shit. Buddy, I KNOW.
So I gave you an article showing that cannabis legalization also corresponds with a decrease in alcohol in general, not just beer.
You’re strawmanning what I’m saying as “all drugs are bad except weed, which is a gift from God”, so I gave you something more concrete (health information) that you can’t strawman to fuck and back. That’s why I linked to both articles. Hope this accommodation to your illiteracy helps. :)
