Issue Position: Agriculture - WTO Trade Caucus for Farmers and Ranchers

Issue Position

I co-chair the WTO Trade Caucus for Farmers and Ranchers along with Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho), Senator Byron Dorgan (D-North Dakota), and Representative Earl Pomeroy (D-North Dakota). This bicameral, bipartisan group of over fifty Members of Congress is working to advance the priority concerns of U.S. farmers and ranchers during the next round of multilateral trade negotiations. The Caucus advocates the need for expanded market access, elimination of foreign export subsidies, establishment of disciplines on state trading enterprises (STEs), elimination of non-tariff trade barriers, and strengthening dispute resolution mechanisms.
