Statement by Mark McHargue, President, Regarding USMCA Renegotiation

"Nebraska's trading relationship between Mexico and Canada represents a combined $3.5 billion in exports, making them our top two trading partners. Today, the governments of the United States, Mexico, and Canada met to review the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), one of the most important trade agreements to Nebraska farmers and ranchers.

Canada and Mexico remain top markets for Nebraska corn, beef, and soybeans, accounting for nearly half of Nebraska's total exports. While no trade agreement is ever perfect, USMCA is vital to the economic future of our state and our state's farm and ranch families. Nebraska Farm Bureau and our nearly 55,000 member families call upon all three governments to improve what needs to be improved and ultimately renew USMCA to help solidify this trade agreement.
