NCGA MID-YEAR REPORT OFFERS LOOK AT EFFORTS TO HELP CORN FARMERS MEET THE CHALLENGES OF 2020
July 14, 2020 – Despite marketing and economic challenges and a pandemic, farmer leaders of National Corn Growers Association continue to advocate and work to improve the lot of the nation’s family corn farmers. Some of the steps being taken are covered in a new 2020 mid-year report released online today.
“2020 began with reason for optimism in our industry. The signing of the USMCA trade deal, emerging corn purchases by China, a successful challenge to EPA granting RFS waivers and approval of year-round sales of E-15 had us all looking toward an economic rebound. Then the Coronavirus pandemic stunned the world,” said Kevin Ross, NCGA president. Through it all, corn farmers continue to go to work. They answer the bell, responding by putting us on track to produce an abundant crop once again.”
