Excitement is bubbling in the U.S. agriculture industry with President Donald Trump toying with negotiating a place for the country in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). And that’s where host Shaun Haney starts the show. Is it now essentially a bilateral trade deal?
Then:
- Top Ag News with Kelvin Heppner.
- The impact of the (long-promised) high-speed rail project on rural Ontario, with Lyndsey Smith.
- Where are we going with trade relations with China? Would Canada be willing to welcome the U.S. into the CPTPP? Where are we headed with the Trans Mountain pipeline? Gerry Ritz, former Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Opposition Critic for International Trade joins the show.
Join us for RealAg Radio every weekday at 4 pm eastern on Rural Radio 147 on SiriusXM.

High-speed rail:
If this thing is only crossable by over or underpass and they’re worried about splitting stuff up. Why don’t they run it directly beside 401
Then communities will be no more split than they already are. Maybe they’re a a better way I donno just a thought— Jeff Vanhie (@jeff_vanhie) April 12, 2018
Meh.. Who needs farmers or farmland anyways. A fast train ride is far more important
