(Le Mars) — President-elect Donald Trump has stated he does not favor any of the current trade agreements. Fellow republican, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, sees trade agreements as being beneficial to agriculture and especially to Iowa agriculture.  Northey was in Le Mars Friday afternoon visiting the Blue Bunny Ice Cream parlor. Northey was asked, if he was to consult with Trump, what message would he share with the incoming president regarding trade?

Will the new administration be in favor of agriculture? Northey says he believes the Trump administration may try to do away with some burdening regulations.
