“Win” will run on TV and digital in DC and is a part of a six-figure, month-long campaign
June 16, 2025
RALEIGH, N.C. — Our Ag Future, a key agriculture coalition dedicated to securing a robust future for farmers, today released a new ad urging Congress to take action to stop the repeal of duty drawback currently contained in the House version of the “Big Beautiful Bill.”
Duty drawback allows U.S. exporters to recover tariffs on imported goods used in products that are later exported, a policy that has enabled North Carolina agriculture to thrive in international markets. Its repeal, industry experts warn, would disproportionately hurt rural communities and undermine years of trade progress for American farmers.
The ad, “Win,” will run across TV and digital platforms in the Washington, DC media market. It is a part of a six-figure, month-long campaign that the group launched earlier in June to protect duty drawback.
Earlier this month, North Carolina Senators Thom Tillis and Ted Budd voiced their support for protecting duty drawback to help farmers. Following this development, Our Ag Future debuted a new TV and digital ad last week thanking Senators Tillis and Budd for their work in protecting the duty drawback.
