                 UNITED STATES-MEXICO-CANADA AGREEMENT

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, agriculture and the family farmers of 
America depend upon exports for prosperity. Passing the U.S.-Mexico-
Canada Agreement is then critical to provide farmers and ranchers with 
the certainty they need to make long-term business decisions.
  Over $10 billion worth of agricultural products are exported each 
year to our neighbors, and that supports more than 86,000 jobs. 
Modernizing and improving our trade relationships with Canada and 
Mexico is a bipartisan no-brainer.
  Former Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and I discussed the USMCA 
in Des Moines last month at a local dairy processing plant. Secretary 
Vilsack and I agree we must pass the USMCA to help our farmers.
  I yield the floor.
