Faleminderit pÃ«r mentorimin e Clayton Yeutter

Thirty-five years ago, around Thanksgiving, Â Clayton Yeutter was focused on using American trade laws to negotiate on behalf of the United States for the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. As the U.S. Trade Representative in the Reagan administration, one of his main goals was to make it easier for farmers to buy and sell their products across borders.

Ai u kishte kÃ«rkuar kÃ«shilltarÃ«ve tÃ« tij qÃ« tÃ« hartojnÃ« njÃ« plan qÃ« vendet tÃ« shkurtojnÃ« subvencionet e tyre, tarifat, dhe barrierat e aksesit nÃ« treg. Ata u kthyen me njÃ« propozim pÃ«r t'i reduktuar kÃ«to 50 pÃ«r qind gjatÃ« dhjetÃ« viteve. Kur paraqitÃ«n draftin e tyre, Yeutter e shikoi dhe e gÃ«rvishti 50 dhe e zÃ«vendÃ«soi me 100 pÃ«rqind. As a skilled negotiator, he realized that if you want to get to fifty, ju duhet tÃ« filloni nÃ« njÃ«qind.

Clayton got buy-in from the Secretary of Agriculture, shoku i tij oficer i kabinetit, and the United States set the table for what became one of the most important trade pacts ever negotiated in human history.

This story and many others are included in a new biography that talks about his role in global trade at this point in Americaâ€™s history. The title, "Rima me LuftÃ«tarin: Clayton Yeutter burrÃ« shteti amerikan,â€ is a reference to what Yeutter would say when a person asked the pronunciation of his last name. He was an extraordinary public servant and statesman whose efforts in support of cross-border business and free trade are still having a positive impact on agriculture and farmers.

Yeutter grew up near the town of Eustis, NE.

E njoha Clayton-in nÃ« vitet e fundit tÃ« jetÃ«s sÃ« tij. Ne u lidhÃ«m nÃ« njÃ« nivel bazÃ«: Ai ishte njÃ« djalÃ« ferme nga Nebraska dhe unÃ« isha njÃ« vajzÃ« ferme nga Iowa. TÃ« dy ishim tÃ« interesuar pÃ«r politikat publike, veÃ§anÃ«risht nÃ« lidhje me bujqÃ«sinÃ«. Ai kishte punuar pÃ«r katÃ«r presidentÃ«, dhe unÃ« kisha punuar pÃ«r njÃ« guvernator.

His career was prestigious—after serving as U.S. PÃ«rfaqÃ«sues Tregtar nÃ«n Presidentin Reagan, ai ishte Sekretar i BujqÃ«sisÃ« nÃ«n Presidentin George H.W. Bush—he was a busy man whose advise was sought out by many, por ai kurrÃ« nuk e pa veten si shumÃ« tÃ« rÃ«ndÃ«sishÃ«m apo tÃ« zÃ«nÃ« pÃ«r mua. MÃ« pÃ«lqeu njÃ« ftesÃ« e hapur pÃ«r ta parÃ« gjatÃ« vizitave nÃ« Uashington, D.C., dhe ai mori njÃ« interes aktiv nÃ« Rrjetin Global tÃ« FermerÃ«ve, sepse ai besonte nÃ« misionin e organizatÃ«s sonÃ« tÃ« udhÃ«hequr dhe tÃ« shprehur nga fermerÃ«t qÃ« mbron politika mÃ« tÃ« mira tregtare dhe akses nÃ« teknologjinÃ« e bazuar nÃ« shkencÃ« nÃ« bujqÃ«si.

PÃ«r njÃ« numÃ«r vitesh dhe takime pÃ«r mÃ«ngjes, ai u bÃ« njÃ« mentor model: a person who shared his experience and advice and expected nothing in return. Â While his expertise and perspective were sought out, ishin gjithashtu shumÃ« shÃ«nime tÃ« pakÃ«rkuara dhe email inkurajimi nga ai qÃ« siguruan pohim delikate dhe tÃ« rÃ«ndÃ«sishme tÃ« punÃ«s dhe mesazheve qÃ« fermerÃ«t e Rrjetit Global tÃ« FermerÃ«ve po ndanin globalisht..

Clayton Yeutter vdiq nÃ« 2017, but the book brings him back to life. I can see that broad grin and hear his voice saying: â€œNe duhet tÃ« liberalizojmÃ« tregtinÃ« botÃ«rore bujqÃ«sore, nÃ« mÃ«nyrÃ« qÃ« furnizimet ushqimore tÃ« rrjedhin aty ku nevojiten. Trade barriers must be made more expensive for countries that resort to them.â€

Ky parim ishte themelor pÃ«r veprÃ«n e jetÃ«s sÃ« tij, ndÃ«rsa ai vazhdoi tÃ« negocionte marrÃ«veshjet tregtare me KanadanÃ«, Japoni, Bashkimi Evropian, dhe e gjithÃ« bota. Clayton Yeutter e bÃ«ri jetÃ«n mÃ« tÃ« mirÃ« pÃ«r fermerÃ«t nÃ« kohÃ«n e tij dhe ndikimi i tij vazhdon t'i bÃ«jÃ« fermerÃ«t mÃ« mirÃ« sot.

As I prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving in the United States with my family this week, I have much to be thankful for. Included in that long list are the mentors I have been privileged to have in my life. And this year, special gratitude for the remarkable legacy and friendship of Clayton Yeutter.
