The Trans-Pacific Partnership (also known as TPP) is a top topic in agriculture and in politics. RFD-TV wants to keep you informed on the viewpoints of the potential trade deal.
Last night, we invited leaders in the agriculture industry to our Nashville studio for a special RURAL AMERICA LIVE. The panelists shared their perspective on the 12-nation trade pact and what it could mean for the future of American agriculture.
Our guests included the following agriculture leaders:
- Tracy Brunner
President,
National Cattlemen’s Beef Association - Chuck Conner
President & CEO,
National Council of Farmer Cooperatives - Zippy Duvall
President,
American Farm Bureau Federation - John Weber
President,
National Pork Producers Council - James Mulhern
President & CEO,
National Milk Producers Federation - Steve Censky
CEO,
American Soybean Association
While these Ag groups support the deal, others like the National Farmer’s Union oppose it. We spoke with the organization’s President, Roger Johnson, earlier on the issue. Watch the video to hear his take and watch a recap of the panel discussion from RURAL AMERICA LIVE.
