American farmers say they appreciate trade agreements that help them remain competitive in world markets. But they add that the accords are useless if all parties don’t comply with the terms of the deals.
Don Schiefelbein is a farmer and rancher in Kimball, Minnesota, where he and his six brothers run the cattle and row crop operation started by their father in 1959. He said American agriculture is so efficient that less than 2 percent of the U.S. population feeds the United States and most of the world.
