Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative Applauds Mexico Trade Deal

Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, representing the voice of milk across the Midwest, cheered the announcement that the United States has reached a free trade deal with Mexico. While full text of the deal has not yet been announced, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative has indicated that it would maintain zero tariffs on dairy and all other agricultural products and create standards for geographical indication. Mexico also agreed to not restrict market access for commonly named U.S. cheeses. Congress will ultimately have to approve the agreement.
