Farmers for Free Trade brought its Motorcade for Trade to western Wisconsin to emphasize the importance of trade deals like the USMCA.
Farmer Louisa Peterson of Creamery Creek Holsteins says they milk 675 cows three times a day, and finishing trade deals so more farm commodities can be exported is important to her. “A market for our farm’s milk is a priority, so if we can talk about this or get more of the awareness out about this deal, we’re willing to do that every day until it gets done.”
National Milk’s President Jim Mulhern says eliminating tariffs and opening more world markets is vital.
