Tax reform, the farm bill and trade policy will all be topics covered by Pro Farmer Jim Wiesemeyer at the 2018 Top Producer Seminar.

“Overall, I’m going to focus again on trade policy,” says Wiesemeyer, “because that’s the number one issue from a policy perspective other than the farm bill for farmers and ranchers.

Wiesemeyer says he will also cover a farm bill timeline and recent development as well as where the U.S. is at in negotiating what he calls “NAFTA 2.0.”
