The group argues that trade uncertainty is a bigger threat to farmers than subsidies.

## Why it matters

This is advocacy rather than a new policy decision, so its price effect is minimal. It signals continued pressure to limit tariff authority, which bears on the trade risk premium for US farm commodities.
