BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — The Illinois Soybean Growers is pleased that the House of Representatives passed legislation approving the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
“The Illinois Soybean Growers (ISG) is encouraged by the bipartisan support for the USMCA that ensures market and trade stability with the second largest export market for U.S. soybeans and leading export market for U.S. pork. Reliable access to export markets is critical for agriculture and the rural economy. We commend members of the U.S. House of Representatives voting in support of USMCA and look for speedy passage in the U.S. Senate,”said Illinois Soybean Growers President Doug Schroeder, who grows soybeans near Mahomet, Ill.
