Smith to Host International Trade Event

Congressman Adrian Smith (R-NE), who serves on the Committee on Ways and Means and its Subcommittee on Trade, announced he will host Growing Nebraska Through Trade on Tuesday, September 22, in Grand Island. Growing Nebraska Through Trade is a free seminar on the impacts of trade agreements and ongoing work to open markets worldwide to rural America.

“A common theme when I speak with farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers in Nebraska’s Third District is the importance of trade to their economic success,” Smith said. “Opening more markets to Nebraska producers and manufacturers plays a crucial role in growing our rural economy. I encourage anyone interested in learning more about ongoing efforts to expand access to international markets to attend.”

Growing Nebraska Through Trade will feature Ambassador Darci Vetter, Nebraska native and Chief Agricultural Negotiator in the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, as keynote speaker, as well as Nebraska Department of Agriculture Director Greg Ibach and numerous other experts to provide diverse, informative perspectives on trade.
