A coalition of 160 farm and food groups are asking Congress to vote against the Trans Pacific Partnership Trade Agreement. Minnesota Congressman Rick Nolan, member of the House Agriculture Committee, says he’s urging a no vote on the TPP because it benefits big corporations at the expense of the nation’s farmers and ranchers.

He says the TPP follows the trend of other recent free trade deals such as NAFTA, which was a large failure.

He says the U.S. exports only 35-percent of its goods to other FTA nations. Nolan says the Korean FTA has also been a failure and the TPP was fashioned from that deal.

Nolan notes the TPP poses particular risks for cattle producers. In 2015, the United States imported nearly 2.3 billion pounds of beef from TPP partners, but only exported about 1.2 billion pounds.
