"To keep the U.S. agriculture economy strong, we're encouraging a swift passage of USMCA and continued focus on renewable fuels to help provide some stability for farmers in the months ahead," said Curt Blades, AEM Sr. VP, Agricultural Services. "AEM is committed to advocating for pro-growth trade policies and the end to retaliatory tariffs."
