U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis will host U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue for an Ag Policy Forum with agriculture leaders from across Illinois. 

The event will take place Wednesday at the Farm Progress Show - the nation's largest outdoor farm event.

Davis strongly supports the passage of the USMCA and views it as a good starting point to get other trade deals approved with countries like Japan and the EU. He believes the U.S. must open as many markets as possible for our farmers. He is hopeful that his colleagues across the aisle, especially those in agricultural districts like Illinois’ 13th, will pressure Democratic Leadership for a vote when Congress gets back in September. 

Congressman Davis will be joined by fellow-Republicans Mike Bost, Darin LaHood and John Shimkus.
