Farm Bureau Congratulates Jamieson Greer on USTR Confirmation

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on the confirmation of Jamieson Greer as United States Trade Representative.

“AFBF congratulates Jamieson Greer on his confirmation to serve as the next United States Trade Representative. He steps into the job at a critical time for American agriculture. Growing trade imbalances and potential tariffs by trading partners threaten to hit rural Americans with more economic hardships at a time when they are already dealing with high supply costs and shrinking paychecks.

“Mr. Greer’s experience with trade issues will help create a level playing field to help farmers and ranchers compete internationally and continue to address food needs around the world.”
