our equipment if there\u2019s tariffs going back and forth across the border with steel and parts, and then the final product coming in to Canada,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-async>One of the crops

Prybylski said livestock producers, specifically those raising hogs and cattle, would also be impacted in a major way by tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>Canada shipped less than 300,000 tonnes of canola seed to the
