Farmers in northern Tamaulipas, Mexico, are blocking Highway 2 near the Pharr International Bridge and other roads in a protest over falling profitability against cheaper grain imports. They want federal aid for sorghum, corn and soy operations and say the blockades will continue until further notice.
Blockades at the Pharr crossing, which handles a large share of Mexico-US produce trade, can delay cross-border feed and produce shipments, while the protest signals pressure on Mexican grain prices and possible federal aid policy.
