Jim Coleman of Coleman Crest Farm, Jan de Beer of @FBT_law, Jack Mazurak of @KyDistillers, Caleb Ragland of @ASA_Soybeans, and Dr. Charles Aull of the Chamber are discussing how tariffs and trade policy are affecting different industries, emphasizing how much Kentucky relies on free trade to support economic growth, jobs, and tourism. "We need free trade and America needs to lead on that," said Coleman, who serves as the Chamber's Agriculture and Equine Public Policy Council chair.
