it will be in laramie. our farmers add billions to the state economy every year and trade is a big part of it. wyoming's annual agriculture exports total $300 million. the export market supports 2,600 jobs in our state. our state not only produces livestock, seeds, and crops, we're exporting essential chemicals that farmers everywhere need to grow their crops. wyoming farmers and ranchers are counting on expanded export markets for future growth. new markets mean new opportunities and wyoming is poised to seize them. in coming years, we plan to toad our high-quality beef, our grain, and our hay exports. future exports will include gluten-free products, distilled spirits and craft beer just to name a few. that's why the usmca agreement is so essential for people all across america. to keep our record shifting economy on track, we need to pass this america-first trade deal and we need to do it now. it's time to put partisan politics aside. it's time to pass usmca. thank you, mr. president. on a different topi

we continue our feature on laramie as we take you to the laramie plains museum which features a special exhibit on wyoming women's suffrage. >> we are in the women's hallway of the laramie plains museum in the mansion. in this hallway we begin to tell you the story of why wyoming was so unique. granting women this right to vote, hold property, and elected office. december 10th of 1869 our wyoming territorial legislature dictated this and it was signed by governor campbell, granting women this act. really so remarkable that we have a copy of this they do have it at the capitol, but we have this copy that is so extraordinary to see that fanciful writing that said what was happening in the west. because of this act, december 10th 1869, giving full rights alongside men, we had the first woman voter in the world. we had the first woman bailiff. we had the first women on a jury. we had all of wyoming's women able to be in the legislature. this was mary bellamy. we had ester morris who was the first woman justice of the peace out of south pass city. we had nellie tayloe ross, first woman gover
