TPP agreement big deal for farmers
Wisconsin Farmers Union pres. says farmers not seeing benefit
The pending Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement has been a relatively small issue in coming elections, but it should be huge.
That’s from Wisconsin Farmers Union president Darin Von Ruden, a Westby dairy farmer. He says the TPP deal has only negative impacts for Wisconsin farmers, despite promises of more prosperity for everyone.
“Seems like everybody, between the consumer and the farmers, are the ones that are making the profits off these trade deals,” Von Ruden said. “And it’s not really getting back to the guy at the bottom of the totem pole.”
The TPP agreement had promised a kind of trickle-down prosperity.
“With all the trade deals that we’ve seen over the years, there’s been the promise of trickle-down economics and eventually it gets to the farmer, but we just haven’t seen that,” Von Ruden said. “Since 1994, we’re less than have than what we were in total farm numbers.
(TPP) is not working … to get those dollars back in farmers’ pockets.
Among the worries, Von Ruden says the TPP deal could lead to greater imports of what’s known as milk protein concentrates, which can diminish demand for milk produced on American farms.
