Tri-State Farmer Jamie Beyer: Why She Flew to Washington to Defend a Trade Deal

Minnesota farmer and American Soybean Association board member Jamie Beyer discusses her recent travel to Washington, D.C., to urge lawmakers to preserve the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and how this has helped grow U.S. soybean exports to Canada and Mexico. Beyer also highlights the agreement’s support for agricultural biotechnology, noting that new seed traits can take about 13 years to move from the lab to farmers' fields.
