Corn Refiners president laments ‘ag on ag violence’

Brownfield's Tom Steever talks to Corn Refiners Association CEO John Bode at Commodity Classic, San Antonio, Tex., Feb. 27, 2014.

“It’s really sad,” said John Bode, president of the Corn Refiners Association, “we’ve got what I call ag on ag violence.” He’s referring to litigation between corn refiners and the sugar industry resulting from what Bode calls attacks from sugar on high fructose corn sweetener. “I wish we could just work this out today,” Bode told Brownfield Ag News at Commodity Classic. “Ag on ag violence is just bad for all of agriculture.”
