Cattle Industry Responds to New Trade Agreement With Japan

The U.S. and Japan have reached a deal on beef tariffs.

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association’s Kent Bacus spoke with RFD-TV’s Janet Adkison about what the agreement entails, what the safeguards mean for U.S. producers, how big of a market this is for U.S. beef, what is next for the deal and when it will come into effect.
