The ambassador doud, mckinney and johansen we are happy to have you back again for the committee to discuss the need for certainty and our Global Agriculture markets. International trade policies and their impacts on the United States agricultural economy. Has been a topic of great interest over the last few years. And more particularly the last few months. In fact, it is the second time in the last year we are hearing about the efforts being made at the office of the United States trade representative and the department of agriculture.
