Williams: Giving away opportunities

David Williams is among the farmers concerned about the future of U.S. agriculture trade.  The Michigan Soybean Association President tells Brownfield 60 percent of his state’s soybeans are exported and his specific worry is slow progress on the North American Free Trade Agreement.

“I think we’re just giving away some of our opportunities,” Williams told Brownfield Ag News at Commodity Classic.  “Trade is so important, and if lose our trading partners, I’m not quite sure what we’ll do with all our production.”

Williams says he was disappointed when the U.S. pulled out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
