Producers have faced a year they would soon like to forget. 2018?s growing season has presented a myriad of challenges including weather, trade, and policy. The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) is working to help in the areas we can control.

When it comes to the Farm Bill, the NCGA is as hopeful as any of us that it can be done soon. NCGA Vice President and Minden, Iowa Farmer Kevin Ross explains.

While corn hasn?t been affected as much by the Chinese trade war, it is still feeling the effects of the trade climate as a whole. Ross says getting the U.S- Mexico-Canada deal done was crucial for the corn industry.

Ross says the Trump Administration’s directive to allow year-round sales of E15 was also a win for corn producers.
