Still a little confused by this article, except that the US could be poised to benefit big time if this goes through.

Thoughts from fellow sugarmakers?

"Most of the taps are in Vermont, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania." Last I knew, Maine was 2nd or 3rd and Wisconsin was 3rd or 4th, well above Michigan and Pennsylvania yet no mention. Wisconsin has added an enormous number of taps the last decade.

The TPP overall is not going to be a good thing for our country. "We must first pass the bill so we can find out what is in the bill." Nancy Pelosi.
