National Corn Growers Association Welcomes Progress on MFP, Looks Forward to Improved Program

Thu, 25 Jul 2019 12:38:23 CDT

National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) President Lynn Chrisp today made the following statement on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) release of county payment rates for the Market Facilitation Program (MFP).


"It's no secret that farmers are facing difficult decisions amid wet spring weather, trade disputes and tariffs, and demand destruction in the ethanol market. While NCGA's focus remains markets, we welcome USDA's quick rollout of MFP 2.0 and the Department's creative efforts to reorient MFP to better reflect market impacts and support American farmers. We look forward to learning more about how MFP will work for corn farmers."


Following President Trump's announcement that the Administration would be pursuing a second round of trade aid, NCGA put forward recommendations that would provide both short-term assistance and support market access for farmers.


NCGA continues to encourage the Administration to take additional actions to open markets and provide more certainty to corn farmers, including stopping RFS waivers to big oil refiners and restoring waived ethanol gallons and resolving trade disputes and tariffs.
