Tariff Costs Cited By Nebraska Farmer For Year
An Iowa or Nebraska farmer named Adolph Ochme in Brainard cites a year of steady open air market purchases and protection prices that raise his costs by 142.02 dollars annually. He calls this the indirect tax on goods he needs and compares it with direct county state taxes, suggesting the tariff sustains the protective system. The report notes he views tariffs as a hidden expense that tightens his finances and raises living costs.
