A lot of other agriculture products are sitting in silos now too because of tariffs. Corn, soybeans, leaving countries to finding other suppliers. US farmers and fisherman are loosing markets.

Lumber prices have jumped a lot too for the US homebuilders because of Canadian import price increases and I'd expect demand and cost to increase further after the hurricanes. Go see what a square of cedar shingles is at Home Depot now. Its like hanging prime rib on the side of your house.
