Thank you for helping to answer my question.
I just found this, too, from the Des Moines paper..
Iowa will see 'hits across the board' as trade war with China escalates
snip//
An escalating trade war between the U.S. and China will hit two key parts of Iowa's economy — farming and manufacturing.
And the timing is terrible.
China said Monday it will levy tariffs of up to 25 percent on pork, ethanol and dozens of other products that would hammer Iowa's ag economy as it struggles to get out of a lingering downturn.
"It's going to make a bad situation worse for agriculture," said David Swenson, an Iowa State University economist.
And President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum would hit Iowa manufacturing as it's getting back on its feet.
Manufacturers in February employed close to 224,000 Iowans, the largest number of workers since the 2008 recession.
The hit to manufacturing will be compounded since much of Iowa production is tied to agriculture.
