Experts say tariffs could devastate barley exports, with industry leaders calling them a major blow to struggling American farmers.

And the Trump-Harris results for the 2024 Presidential election at a county level:
I mean, this one is kind of a self-inflicted wound.
EDIT: Well, there's Glacier County, Montana. But even there, it looks like this was an unusually Republican election. That is, it wasn't tariff concerns driving this:

Glacier County is located in the U.S. state of Montana. As of the 2020 census, the population was 13,778.[1] The county is located in northwestern Montana between the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains, known to the Blackfeet as the "Backbone of the World". The county is geographically and culturally diverse and includes the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, Glacier National Park, and Lewis and Clark National Forest.
Owing largely to its majority Native American population, Glacier County generally votes strongly Democratic, in contrast with most other rural Montana counties, which trend Republican. Democratic strength lies in the western and central portions of the county in the Blackfeet Reservation, including the city of Browning. However, the eastern portion of the county, including Cut Bank, votes strongly Republican. In most recent elections, Glacier has been the most Democratic county in the state.
In the 2024 election, Glacier county saw a shift toward the Republican party, the strongest such shift of all Montana counties. This mirrored other counties in Montana with high Native American populations, such as Blaine, Roosevelt and Big Horn, which all flipped or leaned more Republican after 2020. While Kamala Harris still easily won the county, this was the first time that Glacier County voted to the right of Missoula County since 1980.[7]
