Count the National Cattlemen's Beef Association as being one of the supporters of the Department of Transportation's proposal to resolve the U.S-Mexico cross-border trucking dispute. NCBA Vice President of Government Affairs Colin Woodall called the proposal a step in the right direction and comes not a moment too soon.
"It is critical for all farmers and ranchers and for the entire U.S. economy that this long-running U.S.-Mexico trucking dispute comes to an immediate resolve," Woodall said. "Mexico has been, and continues to be, an outstanding trading partner for U.S. cattlemen and women. Jeopardizing this trade relationship would be detrimental to the U.S. beef industry."
Woodall says this is a good first step but it is of little value if our countries do not move forward to end the dispute as expeditiously as possible. He says we cannot expect to double exports if we allow disputes like this one to linger rather than seek immediate resolve.
