The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has been a game-changer for U.S. agriculture, creating jobs, expanding exports, and providing stability to our farms and communities. But these gains aren’t guaranteed: Your advocacy is needed to secure the long-term benefits of this agreement.
The USMCA faces a formal review in July 2026, where the three countries will decide whether to renew the agreement for 16 years, move to annual reviews, or revert to bilateral arrangements. We need a collective voice to urge the Trump administration to preserve USMCA and consider targeted improvement so farmers, ranchers, and rural communities can plan for the future with confidence.
We need YOU to add your name to a letter to President Trump, urging renewal of this important agreement!
