In 2024, Canada ranked as the United States' second-largest agricultural export market, just behind Mexico. Despite widespread attention on China, its importance as an ag customer is declining, making North American trade relationships more vital than ever. Damian Mason welcomes Shaun Haney of Real Ag Radio for an in-depth conversation on U.S.-Canada agricultural trade, shifting global markets, and the case for building a North American trade "fortress." This episode explores strategic trade alignment, market access, and the future of ag exports in a rapidly changing global economy.
