With Trump's tariffs, Illinois farmers worry about losing corn sales to Mexico

It's so important that we maintain good relations with them,

Marr said

The direct rail access into Mexico, it's a real advantage for us,

Watters said

That is absolutely not what the farmers want,

said Dan Newton, 64, a farm manager in Jacksonville

We need their markets and I hope that they need us, but it's a competitive world,

said Marty Marr, 70, who farms with his sons and plans to plant corn on about 2,000 acres near Jacksonville this spring

He's trying things that have been very unorthodox but at least he's not in the same rut doing what everybody is telling him to do,

said Sue Fox, 68, who supported Trump and runs Times Square Sewing Complex in Jacksonville
