OGDEN, Utah -- Like a lot of farmers across the state, Ron Gibson is keenly aware of international trade agreements and their direct impact to their livelihood.

He is extremely concerned about tariffs between the United States and Canada, Mexico and China.

"We are saying our prayers it's not going to turn into some great big trade war," Gibson told FOX 13 on Friday.

Gibson's Green Acres, a dairy farm in western Weber County, has been in his family for six generations now. He's seen the good times and the bad.

1. And yet, read his comment

From the article:"I understand what President Trump is trying to do. I disagree with the way he's trying to enact all of this," said Gibson, who is also the president of the Utah Farm Bureau. "I know that America has been at a disadvantage with trading with most of the world. I haven't been happy with how that worked. The problem today is we are starting to offend the people that buy our products."

Despite the fact that the tariffs may destroy his business, he still says he understands what Trump is trying to do and repeats the line that America has been at a disadvantage in trading with the rest of the world.

The US is the worlds largest economy and until a few years ago the worlds largest exporter. Did this Gibson guy have any problem exporting his farm goods? Was he at a disadvantage? Once more, we have a Republican who will complain that the tariffs are killing him, and when he goes to the polls in November he will vote straight ticket R. I know this is mean, but I have no sympathy for him.
