Analysis of trade war's impact on ag, and potential impact of new trade deal, coming at Farm Foundation Forum Wed.

How has U.S. agriculture been affected by the trade war? How will it be affected by the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement? An analysis commissioned by Farm Foundation will be released Wednesday, Oct. 31, as part of the Farm Foundation Forum, to be held from 9 to 11 a.m. ET at the National Press Club, 529 14th Street NW in Washington, D.C.

The analysis by Purdue University agricultural economists. "is one of the first to give a detailed look at how the USMCA, as well as retaliatory tariffs imposed by several nations, will impact the economic viability of the food and agriculture sector, from farmers and ranchers to suppliers, processors and manufacturers," Farm Foundation President Constance Cullman said in a news release, which said, "As the landscape of global trade has changed in recent months, the implications have not often been clearly understood."

Cullman will moderate the orum with panelists Dominique van der Mensbrugghe, director of the Center for Global Trade Analysis at Purdue, and Joe Glauber, senior fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute and former chief economist for the Department of Agriculture. Audience questions will be welcomed.

There is no charge to participate in the Forum, but registration is requested.  Register HERE if you plan to attend in person; HERE for a free, live audiocast made possible by a grant from Farm Credit. Audio will be posted on the Farm Foundation website, which has presentations and audio files from past forums.
