Farm Bureau Cited in New York Times Opinion Piece on Trade

The New York Times cited American Farm Bureau Federation’s Dale Moore in an opinion piece on proposed tariffs on automobiles and auto parts. Moore, vice president of public affairs at AFBF, explained how the current situation is affecting agriculture: “China has now lifted the duty on U.S. sorghum and stopped its antidumping investigation, but the damage has been done to U.S. sorghum producers and exporters. The Farm Bureau urges our trade officials to engage in discussions to resolve trade concerns before resorting to tariffs. Tariffs targeting the many countries that export automobiles and automotive parts will potentially result in extensive additional retaliation against U.S. agricultural exports by tariffs and other restrictions.”
