AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoLobster Costs: Maine lobstermen are starting work hundreds of dollars in the hole as diesel hits $6.49 a gallon. Rising fuel, bait and maintenance costs are squeezing an industry already facing declining catches and warming waters. Farm Tariff Relief: The Trump administration is removing some Canadian goods—including equipment and packaging used by Maine farmers—from 50% tariffs starting Oct. 30. Other products are being added, so the trade dispute continues even as blueberry, potato, apple and seaweed producers get targeted relief. Heating Bills: With Maine heating fuel at a record $6.02 a gallon, the federal government plans to release 315,000 barrels from the Northeast reserve. The move could ease supply pressure, but savings for households aren’t assured. Working Waterfront: Rockport Harbor won nearly $699,000 in federal funding for upgrades intended to improve safety and protect its working waterfront from coastal storms.
