Correct. External products are imports.
I hope they exclude eggs, because if not their plan to import them won't go well.

We import eggs?

We plan to. Gonna bring them in by the tens of millions.

By June egg prices will plummet as the normal number of hens will be back online.

He’s putting a tariff on ag products coming into the US. US farmers can export as much as they want outside the US but they likely won’t because demand in the US will increase.

Do you have any source clarifying his quote? He emphasized American farmers selling INSIDE the US. No need to do that if you were just going to tax imports.

LOL. I can promise you that our best produce goes overseas and farmers make money on it. Even the packaging is better on the really good stuff.

Grains and corn aren't shipped via FedEx
That doesn't make the shipping free? Confused as to your point
Obviously individual farmers dong pay to ship grain (though generally we do pay to haul grain to the elevators/gins or pay someone else to) directly but it's still factored into what they are paid

I think Trump use of the word external is for branding purposes as in the External Revenue Service, ERS, (opposed to the IRS).
Tariffs are taxes on imports. Not taxes on exports. Imports are external goods and products. Exports are internal goods and products.

From the produce side of things he won’t be. We export extraordinary amounts as is because we produce too much for our markets alone. If he’s attempting to keep produce on the domestic side he’s going to drive those markets down due to the glut of product. What he is going to do is make your out of season produce more expensive. We aren’t always in season and it’s a helluva lot more than avocados.

I do, but the profit margins are very slim (with shipping and import tariff fees to other countries.) If they keep it in America because the demand in America will increase drastically, shipping costs are drastically reduced and there are no tariffs which means much higher profit margins.
Do you even think? Surely you didn't think that products just magically get produced and at the wave of a wand they magically just show up for free across the world?.. Or did you really believe that? I can't tell with some of you people these days.
Not the right farmers. The only farmers that do are the farms ran and dominated by the Government. This is going to allow for small farmers to actually return back to work. The Gov squeezed every small farmer out of business with fricked up stupid regulations so there's only a handful of multi billion dollar companies that do all of the farming in America. This will actually help the little guy finally compete.

I agree but there might be something else missing from this equation.

I'm on Trump's side of this but I don't really see the business killing regulation on the grain side of things.....there are A TON of small time grain farmers who have operated for decades. So I don't really agree with what you said here
Input prices are crazy on the chemical, seed, fertilizer side of things and some of that may be partly the result of regulation but it isn't some black and white direct thing
There are so many things that could help small farmers whether it be seed cost, chemical cost, equipment costs (my god) but I don't see an obvious way to effectively reduce any of them which leaves increasing yields or market prices which is also a difficult task

Yeah, “farmers” covers a lot of ground so there definitely could be more to it. I singled out produce for a reason. Its what I did for quite some time. Maybe other commodities, let’s say grains, could be different. I wouldn’t have any idea there.

This tariff change will not be viewed well by the Cali Almond growers …. they soak up massive amounts of water to grow a crop that is primarily for export

Sounds like you are brain damaged

This is actually great news. Farmers don't make shite shipping things around the world. It's too expensive. Since incoming farm products will be tariffed, then that makes the demand in America much greater for the farmers which they will make a shitload more money
And lessens the demand for migrant employment
