The NAFTA re-negotiations provide an opportunity to improve agricultural trade across partner countries.

However, recent rhetoric and delays in the renegotiation are giving way to rising concerns over the trade deal's future. The Farm Bureau's Blake Hurst says U.S. agriculture depends on NAFTA.

He says recent rhetoric regarding trade is troubling to farmers, especially after Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, who understands NAFTA's positive impact on agriculture, has publicly expressed concern about the trade agreement's future

Withdrawal or failure to reach an agreement for NAFTA, Hurst says, would result in an economic disaster for agriculture
