The National Corn Growers Association’s Corn Congress is underway this week in New Orleans.
Mike Beard is a central Indiana farmer and president of Indiana Corn Growers Association.
“Those action team meetings have representatives from all over the corn growing regions of the U.S. that come together and talk about things like ethanol, market development, risk management,” he says. “Those teams will help us set legislative priorities for the next year.”
He tells Brownfield the farm bill and potential tax changes are priorities.
