Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue addressed farmers at the United Fresh Produce Association meeting in Washington D.C. this past week. Black Gold Farms CEO Eric Halverson participated in the meeting and said Perdue highlighted trade situation. “They’re doing what they can, but some of it is waiting to see what happens.” For potato growers, it’s also important to work out the details on the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement. “We want to get this ratified, because there are other specific items we want to work on with Mexico,” explained Halverson. “Increasing our market access to the country is restricted. That’s the top item on the agenda for potato growers.”
