U.S. Farmers Eager to Return to Global Competitiveness

The following statement may be attributed to American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall:
 
“America’s farmers and ranchers are eager to get back to business globally.  Progress restoring our ability to be competitive in China is a key component of that and this development is welcome news. We appreciate the administration’s initiative and look forward to further progress toward resolving this trade battle.
 
China went from the second-largest market for U.S. agricultural products to the fifth-largest since the trade war began. Reopening the door to trade with China and others is key to helping farmers and ranchers get back on their feet. Farmers would much rather farm for the marketplace and not have to rely on government trade aid, so today’s news is especially welcome.
