Mike Johanns on Free Trade

Secretary of Agriculture; previously Republican NE Governor

Open up new markets for agricultural & beef exports

These are exciting times for agriculture families. The crops that will propel our nation's future energy supply, ethanol and biodiesel, are produced across Nebraska. We are opening up new markets for our exports, including beef. Yet, challenges remain. We need agricultural policies that expand trade and strengthen important programs that provide a critical safety net for our farmers and ranchers while not raising their taxes.
