Always great being at the annual Ag Breakfast at the IL State Fair. Congress must pass USMCA for our farmers. There are no excuses for Speaker Pelosi not to bring it to the floor immediately. If we don’t, there’s no incentive for China to sit down with us.

"The advantages of passing the USMCA are undeniable. The USMCA will expand Americans’ access to the Canadian and Mexican markets, enable greater global competitiveness and increase American economic prosperity."

Chris Guy
Board member

It’s been over a year since this agreement has been signed. Now it’s time for Congress to approve the USMCA. This agreement will create more manufacturing jobs across America and help our farmers continue to feed the world. #USMCANow
