Washington, D.C. (October 1, 2018)—“Today’s announcement that an agreement has been reached on a new United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement is welcome news for America’s farmers and their co-ops. Ensuring continued trade with two of our most important partners is especially important as agricultural producers continue to face low prices across a broad swath of commodities. We look forward to reviewing the details of the new agreement over the course of the next few days.”
