![]() Dec. 16, 2024 Source: National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) news release Congress has yet to release or vote on a year-end legislation package. While recent negotiations have included funding for the federal government, a farm bill extension, economic assistance for agriculture producers and natural disaster recovery aid, Congressional leadership has signaled that the package does not currently include economic assistance. In response to this development, Kenneth Hartman Jr, president of the National Corn Growers Association, released the following statement: "We are deeply disappointed that congressional leadership appears to be at an impasse over crucial economic assistance for farmers in an end-of-the-year legislative package. Corn growers are faced with low prices and high input costs and economic aid would provide them with critical relief during challenging economic times. "While these developments are disheartening, we call on Congress to resume negotiations and pass legislation that includes economic assistance while there is still time." About the National Corn Growers Association Founded in 1957, the National Corn Growers Association represents nearly 40,000 dues-paying corn farmers nationwide and the interests of more than 300,000 growers who contribute through corn checkoff programs in their states. NCGA and its 50 affiliated state organizations work together to create and increase opportunities for corn growers. Tweet |
