The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” this week. The budget reconciliation legislation will next be considered by the U.S. Senate. In response to these developments, Illinois farmer and National Corn Growers Association President Kenneth Hartman released the following statement:
“Congress took a large legislative step forward today with the House passage of the budget reconciliation bill. We encourage the U.S. Senate to include corn growers’ priorities as the legislation is changed and considered going forward. For example, the bill is an opportunity for extending year-round, consumer access to E15. We will continue to advocate for the inclusion of our tax and agriculture priorities, which are important to the financial wellbeing of farmers and their families.”
