Source: National Corn Growers Association news release
National Corn Growers Association President Garry Niemeyer released the following statement in response to the House Agriculture Committee's 35-11 passage of the 2012 farm bill:
"The National Corn Growers Association is disappointed the House Agriculture Committee's passed version of the 2012 farm bill does not include a more viable market-oriented risk management program. We support moving the legislative process forward and urge Speaker Boehner to schedule time for full House floor consideration before the August recess.
"However, we feel there needs to be significant changes made to the legislation. Our farmers will be working with members of the House of Representatives to ensure those changes are included in a final package."
Founded in 1957, the National Corn Growers Association represents 37,000 dues-paying corn farmers nationwide. NCGA and its 48 affiliated state organizations work together to create and increase opportunities for their members and their industry.
