National Corn Growers President Calls USDA Supply & Demand Report a Wake-up Call
Fri, 12 Aug 2016 17:45:23 CDT
The following is a statement released today by, Chip Bowling, president of the National Corn Growers Association, in response to the recently issued USDA WASDE report.
"Within recent days, we've heard a lot from both Presidential campaigns regarding issues that are important to rural America. We've heard opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership and attacks on our trade agreements-at the very time that agriculture needs to open new markets. We've heard support for expanding the use of renewable fuels-while American farmers are still battling decisions made by the U.S. EPA that undermine biofuels use.
Today's World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates Report should be a wake-up call for both Presidential campaigns regarding the economic challenges facing farmers and rural America.
Rural America needs help. With prices for a number of crop and livestock commodities already below the cost of production, the potential losses in rural America will result in fewer family farms, fewer jobs, and economic hardship. We need real solutions that help us access markets, expand biofuel use, and ensure a more sustainable future."
