Congratulations to the Egypt Presidency @UNFCCC & @FAO for the launch of #FAST to create a platform to help agriculture and food get access to climate finance, technology, capacity building and policy. Glad to know about it. Will work #COP to #COP to keep this initiative growing.
The Packers offering Aaron Rodgers more money, more years, more guarantees, whatever doesn't really change things. Those upgrades will all transfer to the new team upon a trade, which I think will happen...in 2022.

Although we’re pleased that the United States, Mexico and Canada have taken the next step in moving #USMCA forward, the agreement is a hollow victory unless the Section 232 #tariffs on steel and aluminum imports are lifted. ow.ly/ok4t30mOLTa

Tokyo is a city of 37.5 million. That's 13 times bigger than Chicago's 2.7 million. Four U.S. farmers are in Tokyo this week learning about the food preferences there―and potential for more dairy! bit.ly/2OrcBK1 #USdairyExports

We have created a page that allows you to keep track of the dairy farmer mission to Japan and Hong Kong this week. Follow the farmer leaders as they learn about new market opportunities for #USdairyExports. The page will be updated throughout the week. bit.ly/2JKmGkw
Last year 25 million tourists visited Japan and will be hosting the 2020 Olympics. Small portions of cheese are really selling. Japanese consumers are willing to pay a higher price for quality and convenience. #USdairyExports @MidwestDairy @dfamilk @FUTP60
USDEC has partnership with Hattori Nutrition College in Tokyo to familiarize chefs and nutritionists with benefits of U.S. cheese. It was good for students and faculty to meet U.S. dairy farmers in person. Dairy checkoff funds at work promoting U.S. Dairy abroad! #USdairyExports

Japan has 126 million people in a country the size of California. In 2017 Japan imported 21% of its dairy products from the US. With the help of USDEC we can increase that amount #USdairyExports @MidwestDairy @dfamilk @FUTP60 - Lowell Mueller
