Corn growers should stand up for agriculture
National Corn Growers Association President Darrin Ihnen acknowledges that maintaining demand for corn is a high priority for the organization. However he urges growers to defend agriculture and specifically livestock producers, corn growers’ biggest customers, from attacks by activists and critics. Ihnen’s pledge during Commodity Classic is to strengthen that defense of agriculture.
