Whither agricultural in 2021 and beyond
2021

The past four years have been chaotic for US agriculture. Trade wars, initiated by the Don-ald Trump administration in 2017, and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic have led to volatile domestic and international market conditions and considerable uncertainty about future prices and farm businesses’ financial situations. In response to lower prices result-ing from lost access to international markets and, on a shorter-term basis, pandemic-related supply chain disruptions, the Trump administration responded by sending unprecedented amounts of ad hoc disas-ter relief aid to farmers through two Market Facilita-tion Programs and the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program.
