Nebraska Farm Bureau
LINCOLN, NEB. – “Friday announced US, Mexico, Canada Agreement (USMCA) dispute panel decision in favor of the United States in our case against Mexico’s unscientific and illegal ban of genetically modified corn is a significant victory for science and for Nebraska. Time and again, the safety of genetically modified corn has been proven. As one of the nation’s top corn producers and exporters of corn to Mexico, Nebraska farmers and the state’s economy stood to be greatly impacted if the panel allowed Mexico’s ban to stand. We stand prepared to work with the incoming Trump administration to ensure all our existing trade agreements are followed by our international partners so that Nebraska farmers and ranchers can continue to feed, fuel, and clothe the world.”
“We thank Congressman Adrian Smith and the rest of Nebraska’s Congressional Delegation for their steadfast support of Nebraska farmers throughout this case.”
