In this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker sits down with Brian Reisinger to examine how U.S. trade policies are impacting family farmers across the country.

Reisinger explains why one-size-fits-all trade agreements often leave small and mid-sized farms behind, and what smarter, targeted trade policies could do to protect food security, strengthen rural economies, and preserve economic diversity in American agriculture.
