NAT'L CORN GROWERS ASSN ISSUES STATEMENT ON TARIFF PAUSE
Apr. 10, 2025
Source: National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) news release
Chesterfield, MO -- President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he was placing a 90-day pause on all reciprocal tariffs, with the exception of China. In response to this development, Illinois farmer and NCGA President Kenneth Hartman Jr. released the following statement:
"We appreciate the administration's decision to place a 90-day pause on the reciprocal tariffs it had put in place earlier this week. We ask President Trump and his administration to use this delay to negotiate market access opportunities for American-made products, including corn.
"Planting is about to begin in much of the country. The longer that uncertainly exists the more concerned we become that our growers could harvest billions of bushels of corn for which they will not have reliable markets. Our farmers want certainty that our customers at home and abroad will buy our products in the months and years ahead."
