Ted McKinney says, “We had some things to fix with our friends with Canada, and I do mean friends.  What they were doing with their dairy milk supply system was absolutely against the rules.”

McKinney tells Brownfield holding out for the removal of Canada’s Class 7 pricing had to be done.  “To get dairy fixed, not just to get a little bit of access but to get rules in place so that they stop dumping on the world dry milk powder and butter was a huge win.”

McKinney says the ag provisions of USMCA with Mexico really didn’t change much.

The Undersecretary spoke to Brownfield during the NAFB convention in Kansas City.
