Canada Ag Minister at AFBF Convention

Canada’s Agriculture Minister spent the weekend promoting the North American Free Trade Agreement at the American Farm Bureau Federation Convention and IDEAg (Idea-ag) trade show in Nashville, Tennessee. MacAulay, a keynote speaker at the event, traveled to Nashville to promote Canada-U.S. trade through NAFTA, saying the trade agreement “delivers high-quality foods and supports millions of middle-class jobs on both sides of the border.” MacAulay was scheduled to participate in a roundtable with U.S. agriculture producer and business groups, meet with AFBF President Zippy Duvall, and numerous state counterparts. President Donald Trump was also confirmed to attend the conference, delivering a speech Monday afternoon before traveling to Atlanta to attend the national college football championship game between Georgia and Alabama with USDA Secretary and Georgia native Sonny Perdue.
