What is Farmers for Free Trade?

Farmers for Free Trade is a bipartisan, nonprofit organization comprised of farmers, ranchers, ag businesses, and ag organizations that support ag trade. Farmers for Free Trade is dedicated to ensuring the voices of American farmers and ranchers are heard on trade issues.


To further share the importance of their message, Farmers for Free Trade is on the road for #MotorcadeForTrade —a 14-state tour across America. The motorcade stopped at IL Corn to talk with farmers and industry professionals to further spread the message that trade access is essential for the farm economy.


Illinois corn farmers were able to connect, talk about their farms, and discuss why trade matters to them. Local media came to listen in on the discussion and conduct interviews with the farmers.
