Escalating rhetoric on U.S.-China tariffs has resulted in major ramifications for Wisconsin manufacturing and agriculture.
Among the many areas impacted by the tariffs are central Wisconsin’s ginseng, dairy, corn and soybean producers – with millions of dollars in lost revenue.

WIPPS is partnering with the UW-Madison Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) on its inaugural East Asia Now series. Also a part of WIPPS’  Public Issues series, this event will feature a panel of national experts on agriculture and China’s economy, along with members of our state’s ag businesses impacted by these trade tensions.

Panelists will discuss:

  • Current state of U.S. – China trade relations
  • Impact on local and global economy
  • What we can expect going forward

Our panel will be moderated by Pam Jahnke, also known as The Fabulous Farm Babe, of Wisconsin Farm Report Radio. Panelists include:

The Public Issues Series is made possible through the support of Dean Dietrich and Kevin Hermening, two Wausau businessman who are committed to open, nonpartisan dialogue.
