Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay were in Gray, Saskatchewan Thursday.
The two visited an area farm and met with producers and farm leaders to discuss key issues in the ag sector.
Daryl Fransoo, a Director with the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association was part of the Young Farm Leaders group.
Fransoo says the Wheat Growers want to see the Trudeau government make trade and NAFTA their top priority.
"He brought that up, basically saying the ball is in the court of the United States. We'd have a huge problem as western growers if that border shut down to our crops. We need to make sure that the Canadian government maintains that access to our products. That's probably top priority right now...I hope the government really fights for us."
