Representatives from Three midwestern states are joining with their counterparts from two Canadian provinces to try to improve trade relations in agriculture. Officials from Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are holding a conference today through Wednesday in Fargo to try to solve problems facing farmers in all those areas. Minnesota Agriculture Commissioner Gene Hugoson is heading the Minnesota delegation. He says 250 farmers will join in the discussion, in the hopes of coming up with solutions at the grassroots, rather than federal level.
