00:00Do you think the president's tariff policies have worked and are you
00:03concerned about long-term ramifications to America's global standing in
00:07agriculture? Yeah, Dave, thank you and maybe someone can give us a K-State
00:11update here in a second, Greg. But, but look, look, you know that these tariffs
00:18were meant to bring manufacturing jobs home and they prove our exports and
00:24guess what? It's working. Let me give you an example. Let me give you an example.
00:34Right here in Reno County, Reno County lost 1,700 manufacturing jobs over the
00:40last two decades. 1,700. I was tired of seeing manufacturing jobs leave Kansas.
00:47Now you go to Superior Boiler here in here in Hutchison, they're going to add a
00:52hundred jobs. As I go across the state, we went to 120 stops last month alone.
00:57Everywhere we saw manufacturing was growing. And by the way, exports are as
01:02well. But, you know, tariffs are such a small, small portion of the picture here.
01:08When it comes to American, I don't understand why people don't care about
01:14American manufacturing jobs. Look, you can't keep doing the same thing over and
01:18expecting a different result. So we're seeing that these, you know, talk about
01:23the tariffs, so they're helping out exports. Does anybody really care that
01:27corn exports are up 50% over the last two years? That corn prices are now
01:31worth $5 a bushel, wheat's over $8, soybean's $13. Look, these tariffs are working.
01:38We are expanding our export markets because of them.
