The National Corn Growers Association’s leadership gathered on Capitol Hill today to welcome members of the new Congress as they were sworn into office.
“We are here to congratulate our friends and allies who were re-elected to Congress and introduce ourselves to those being sworn in for the first time,” Hartman said. “We look forward to continuing our work with members on both sides of the aisle as we advocate for legislation that is important to corn growers.”
NCGA leaders in attendance were Kenneth Hartman Jr., board president, Harold Wolle, board chairman and Jed Bower, board first vice president.
NCGA’s top issues include securing passage of legislation that would ensure year-round consumer access to higher blends of ethanol, federal tax policies that are favorable to agriculture, and reauthorization of a comprehensive farm bill.
