We had an amazing weekend at the Iowa State Fair with Ambassador Wiseman and @AAFC_Canada Minister MacDonald! Thank you to the many Iowans who gave us such a warm welcome. With over $8.1 billion in annual two-way trade, Iowa is a vital partner for Canada.

NDSGA Pres. Justin Sherlock & staff met with Evan Burt, Consul & Trade Commissioner for Agriculture at the Consulate General of Canada in Minneapolis, to discuss USMCA & ND soy exports. 🤝🌱
NDSGA supports full renewal of USMCA to keep markets open & predictable for ND farmers.

Canada buys ~30% of Minnesota's ag exports & is a top supplier of ag products+potash to MN. Consul @EvanBurt spoke at the MN Farm Bureau Board & the @MNFarmersUnion convention to highlight the Canada-MN ag partnership & benefits of #USMCA. Let's keep a good thing growing!
We were visited by a few more friendly faces on the final day of #MFU84: @GovTimWalz, Farm Service Agency Executive Director Kurt Blomgren, MN Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy, @NFUDC President Rob Larew, and Consul & Trade Commissioner Evan Burt (Consulate General of Canada)!

We extend our deepest sympathies to the people of Minneapolis in the wake of the heartbreaking tragedy at Annunciation church and school. In times like these, borders fade, and our shared humanity binds us together.
Canadians are holding you in our hearts.

I had the opportunity to visit with Manitoba’s Minister of Agriculture, Ron Kostyshyn, and his staff. Every year, the @IowaStateFair brings together people from across the agriculture community, and it’s always great to see those connections being made.

Happy to meet up with Senator Sweeney and Manitoba Minister of Agriculture Ron Kostyshyn here at the fair. There’s no better celebration of agriculture than the @IowaStateFair, bringing ag leaders from across the world!
