Farm Bureau Encouraged by Mexico Tariff Delay

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on the 30-day tariff extension agreement reached between the United States and Mexico.

“Farm Bureau is encouraged that the United States and Mexico have agreed to delay the use of tariffs for the next month. Tariffs and tariff retaliation often hit farmers and ranchers hard, which make it more difficult for them pay their bills and grow the food America’s families rely on.

“We understand there is a similar conversation taking place with Canada to avoid costly trade disruptions, and we appreciate the Administration making every effort to resolve these disputes, keep international markets accessible and ensure a stable food supply here at home.”
