This has to be something that will be done with Congress and the Administration working together.

A more robust approach toward free trade agreements from this Administration would be helpful in advancing the cause of removing tariff barriers.

We have heard that CPTPP would have a tremendous positive impact on American ag producers.

I think we have seen tremendous common ground from the witnesses, as well as from Members on the Subcommittee on both sides of the aisle.

I think it should be a higher priority for this Administration.

So we are very passionate about entering into this trade agreement.

We thank you for that, and we ask that the Administration take further steps to deliver near-term relief to address these supply chain challenges.

Trade accounts for an average of $56 of value for each hog marketed in this country.

American farmers and ranchers, they produce the highest quality crops, livestock, poultry, and dairy in the world.

It is hard to overstate the importance of market access to American agricultural producers.

NPPC supports the 'Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021' introduced by Reps. John Garamendi (D-CA) and Dusty Johnson (R-SD), which would address the issues plaguing U.S. exports.

The pervasiveness of our supply chain issues has been widely reported and impacts all links in the chain between producers and end customers.

I am proud to lead it with you. Your leadership has been critically important.

We urge the Committee to take up this legislation as soon as possible.

Yet even with their efforts, there simply aren't enough truckers on the road to meet the demand.

The bipartisan Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021 introduced by Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) and Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-SD).

It's critical that we pursue all avenues to alleviate the supply chain crisis and get goods moving again.

I don't think that makes a whole lot of sense.

I have heard from you that we have 80,000 drivers short of where we need to be right now.

Thank you, Mr. Durkin. Sir, in your testimony you highlighted the bill that I have with John Garamendi...

It is very short-sighted of Mexico. We are all not--it--global climate change--it is a global climate change, not a U.S. climate change.

I suspect all of our panelists know that Mexico recently published a decree announcing their intention to phase out a number of different important agricultural technologies.

We will increase yields, we will reduce our carbon footprint, we will improve animal welfare, and, again, we are only going to do these things by embracing ingenuity, progress, and innovation.

There is a moral and a technological issue that is facing this Committee and society, how are we going to feed a growing world at the same time that we work to be good stewards of our environment?

TIA members have felt the pressure of delayed port times, container shortages, overbearing demurrage and detention charges.
