IL Corn Pushes Policy Solutions to Strengthen the Farm Economy
This week, IL Corn advocated for Illinois corn farmers on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) hosted all the corn states to advocate for corn farmers by meeting with legislative staff and agency officials on behalf of corn farmers. With the farm income declining and the ag economy under stress, these conversations emphasize their impact during this critical time.
IL Corn advocated for policies surrounding the use of higher blends of ethanol (like E15), increased international market demand, and the Farm Bill.
IL Corn continues to advocate for Illinois corn farmers, especially as harvest begins and markets remain uncertain.
