On Free Trade: Exports boost Nebraska economy

In Nebraska, we export over $8 billion of goods annually. Our work in China over the last three years helped open the door for Nebraska beef for the first time in 14 years. Beef from a Nebraska company was the first to arrive in China last summer, and I'm excited to report that over half the American beef in China now comes from Nebraska! In the past 12 months, we have also seen Argentina reopen their market to American pork. Bulgaria signed new soybean deals with Nebraska. Vietnam opened their doors to dried distillers grains. And Japan is set to open their marketplace to American ethanol.
