NCGA Statement on Presidential Election

National Corn Growers Association President Kenneth Hartman Jr., released the following statement today to congratulate President-Elect Donald J. Trump following Tuesday's election:

"On behalf of corn growers across the country, I want to congratulate President-Elect Donald J. Trump on his victory in Tuesday's election. We look forward to working with the new administration and members of Congress to advance policy that is important to corn farmers. We especially appreciate President Trump's recognition that homegrown fuels, like ethanol, are important for our nation's energy security and rural economies. We are also eager to work with his administration and Congress to enact improved farm policies and programs, expand market opportunities and build on the tax policies enacted during President Trump's first term that are beneficial to corn farmers as they face a challenging financial outlook with low prices and high costs."
