June 30, 2025 – MABA President Chuck Lippstreu joined Chip Flory on AgriTalk to discuss Michigan-Canada ag trade. The discussion followed an earlier meeting between Lippstreu and Ontario Agri Business Association members the previous week. “Michigan exports $3 billion in value worth of [agricultural] products every year,” Lippstreu noted in the discussion. “40 to 45% of that moves to Canada. So $1.2, 1.3 billion worth of exports into Canada every year….it’s an incredibly important market for us.” The conversation covered ongoing U.S.-Canada trade negotiations, the upcoming opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge in the Detroit area, and beyond.
