Trade wars explored at Lifetree Café

The potential impact of ongoing trade negotiations will be discussed at Lifetree Café on Monday, June 11, at 2 p.m.

The program, titled “In the News: Trade Wars,” features a filmed interview with Jerry Schmitz, a soybean farmer who’s concerned about the potential impact current trade negotiations may have on crop prices and foreign markets.

“It’s absolutely essential that we have export markets,” Schmitz says in the interview. “As an example, in the United States, every third row of soybeans grown leaves the country.”

During the program, participants will have an opportunity to share their viewpoints on current efforts to renegotiate trade deals.

Admission to the 60-minute event is free. Lifetree Café meets at Jalapenos, 314 N Second Avenue, Sandpoint.
