Earlier this week, Iowa Corn Growers Association® (ICGA) farmer-leaders attended the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) Corn Congress meetings to advocate for key agricultural issues and priorities.
Throughout their visits, Iowa corn farmers advocated for nationwide, year-round passage of E15, expressed need for increased trade sharing the current economic value the trade of U.S. corn and corn products has within the nation and highlighted concerns around the MAHA movement and its potential impact on pesticide use, a tool farmers need as they continue producing corn that is relied on around the world.
Iowa farmer-leaders met with each member of the Iowa Congressional Delegation’s office including Senators Ernst and Grassley and Representatives Feenstra, Hinson, Miller-Meeks and Nunn.
