FARM GROUPS URGE FOR MODERNIZATION OF NAFTA

The American Farm Bureau Federation, along with the two largest farm groups in Mexico and Canada, are urging NAFTA negotiators to modernize the agreement, not dismantle it. 
 
In a joint letter to the U.S., Mexican and Canadian governments, the farm organizations call NAFTA one of the biggest success stories for agriculture. AFBF economist Veronica Nigh says the letter calls for unity to protect and improve agricultural trade.
 
       
 
Agricultural trade between the three countries has grown exponentially since the agreement was implemented more than 20 years ago. Nigh says that growth is critical to sustaining the agricultural economy.
 
                    
 
Additionally, the groups outlined priorities that could help improve agricultural trade between the three countries.
                     
 
That’s AFBF economist Veronica Nigh.
