Michigan farmers and agricultural leaders are urging continued access to Canadian and Mexican markets as the United States attempts to renegotiate the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Congressman Tom Barrett joined producers August 11 at a roundtable hosted by Farmers for Free Trade and the Michigan Agri-Business Association at AgroLiquid in St. Johns. Farmers from across Michigan discussed how trade with Canada and Mexico affects marketing decisions, input costs, farm profitability, and long-term investments. They also emphasized the importance of maintaining reliable market access for the next generation of farmers. Barrett said competitive access to the two markets gives producers the certainty they need to keep growing food and raising livestock. “That goal — and leveling the playing field — must remain a top priority as the Trump administration renegotiates the USMCA,” Barrett said.
