Little impact in Kansas from Russia food sanctions

1 comment

The wheat harvest is underway in Douglas County, as David Metsker cuts wheat west of Baldwin City on Thursday.

Russia’s ban on U.S. food imports will hurt Russia more than it will hurt Kansas farmers, the state’s trade director said Thursday.

In retaliation for sanctions the Obama administration has imposed for Russia’s involvement in Ukraine, Russia announced Thursday that it’s banning most food imports from the West. A global market analyst says the impact on the U.S. agriculture markets, including Kansas, is minimal because Russia has already banned many agricultural products in the past.
