It was an honor to attend the signing of the U.S.-Japan #Trade Agreement today. This agreement opens up real market opportunities for producers of fresh fruits, vegetables and tree nuts.
We extend our appreciation to @realDonaldTrump for his leadership on U.S.-Japan #Trade Agreement. #Japan is 3rd largest market for American ag products & elimination of #tariffs on fresh produce will result in significant export opportunities for farmers. https://t.co/IJD2QUZEVE
We applaud @GavinNewsom for pumping the brakes on #SB1. It would have undermined the collaborative progress his administration & #water users are making toward enhanced river flows and water quality in the #Delta. https://t.co/RbskaxLq0t
