Frequent Market Day Report guest Jeremy Zwinger of Farm and Trade joined RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander to discuss how the markets are following the announcement, if it is a big boost for rice producers in the United States, and how big a market Japan is for U.S. rice.

Hear from California rice grower, Charley Mathews Jr., about what the trade deal means to him.
