In response to the tariffs imposed between the United States and its trading partners, Illinois farmer and National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) President Kenneth Hartman Jr. released the following statement:
“Farmers are facing a troubling economic landscape due to rising input costs and declining corn prices. We ask President Trump to quickly negotiate agreements with Mexico, Canada and China that will benefit American farmers while addressing issues important to the United States. We call on our trading partners to work with the president to resolve these issues so that that we can restore vital market access.”
Kentucky Corn is working closely with NCGA to monitor this issue as it unfolds.
