Farmers for Free Trade announced a national series of USMCA roundtables starting next month.

 

Organizers said these roundtables will bring together farmers, trade experts, and elected officials to discuss the critical importance of strengthening and renewing the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.

 

The first of three roundtables will be in San Antonio, TX, La Crosse and Eau Claire, WI, and Southeastern Iowa.  Additional roundtable locations will be announced throughout the spring and summer.

 

“USMCA is the foundation of American agricultural trade, supporting farmers in every corner of the country,” said Brian Kuehl, executive director of Farmers for Free Trade. “Mexico and Canada are our top two agricultural export markets, accounting for over $58 billion in annual exports.”

He also said it’s essential that farmers have an opportunity to share directly with their elected representatives how critical this agreement is to their operations and communities.
