General discussion surrounding trade of US agricultural products. We are seeking support in the upcoming Farm Bill debate for additional funding to USDA in regard to the Foreign Market Development and Market Access Program titles - H.R. 2321 - CREAATE Act & S.1839 - CREAATE Act. Furthermore, we are concerned about the position of the current administration in regard to the country's national trade policies. Specifically, the ongoing renegotiation of the NAFTA by the Administration, and the issues regarding trade with the People's Republic of China, the EU, UK, Korea and Japan pending threats of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs including duties related to national security (Section 232). In addition, we have expressed our great disappointment with the $0.01/bu. of corn for the 2018 crop year offered in the USDA Market Facilitation Program (MFP).
