Trade is critical to the success of America's farmers. American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall emphasized the importance of trade when he spoke with attendees and reporters at this year's Farmfest.

AgWeek reports that President Duvall shared his message with President Trump during a recent White House visit, "We don't support your tariffs, but we sure hope that your efforts and your direction that you’re taking trade in is successful."
