Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue will host Canadian Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay and Mexican Secretary of Agriculture José Calzada Rovirosa, tomorrow, in Savannah, Georgia, for a trilateral meeting as well as other joint events. The following statement may be attributed to Zippy Duvall, President, American Farm Bureau Federation:

“It is encouraging that Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue is meeting this week with his counterparts from our neighboring nations to build a deeper level of understanding. This is particularly important as our nations begin to discuss a review of the trade agreement linking our farmers and ranchers.
