National Corn Growers Association President John Linder, an Ohio farmer, says maintaining and expanding market access for corn through trade is a top priority.
“Fortunately China has come in and is poised to be the number one buyer of corn,” he says. “It’s added some stability to being able to drive our income from the markets. That’s where farmers really want to focus their attention—getting their revenue from the marketplace.”
Linder tells Brownfield NCGA is looking for other market opportunities and re-engaging with Southeast Asia is a trade priority.
