WCGA Respond to Bud Light Super Bowl Ad

Many people watch the Super Bowl for the advertisements, but this year the Wisconsin Corn Growers Association was rather upset with one ad in particular. The ad noted that Bud Light is not made with the use of corn syrup, indicating that it is a bad practice to do so. WCGA President Doug Rebout responded to the ad in a statement saying ““Today, more than ever, our members are struggling with low prices, uncertain markets and the spreading of misinformation about our practices and our products. While trying to boost sales, Bud Light has forgotten the importance of the people who provide this country with food, fiber and fuel.” He then pointed to Ram Truck’s 2013 ad saying it was a good representation of the value of farmers in the U.S.
