Iowa Corn Growers Grade the Presidential Candidates

Thu, 01 Dec 2011 05:19:29 CST

The Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA), in partnership with the National Corn Growers Association released the Corn Caucus Project Presidential Report Card, a reference guide to presidential candidates' positions on agricultural policies.


The Corn Caucus Project Presidential Report Card provides information on the eight major candidates' responses to questions on legislative priorities for corn. Topics on the survey included: ethanol, farm programs, Environmental Protection Agency regulations, trade and transportation.



Based on survey responses submitted by presidential candidates, media and official records, each candidate was scored and graded. If a candidate failed to complete the survey, the committee used published statements, official records or information from the candidate's website to complete the voter guide.


Click on the PDF file link below to review the single page summary of the Report Card which is based on information through mid November. The Presidential Candidate that got the highest marks was Newt Gingrich with an "A." Herman Cain and Ron Paul both got "D"s.
