Wisconsin Corn Growers Association Respond to USDA’s Proposed Producer Aid

The Wisconsin Corn Growers Association, has responded to a recent statement from the USDA, where they proposed producer payments from the Market Facilitation Program for those affected by trade tariffs. The WCGA President Doug Rebout said in a statement, “While support is appreciated, the USDA cannot fully compensate producers for their losses. What producers really need are prices that reflect a fair market value – especially in a time where tariffs and trade uncertainty are so prevalent.” The Wisconsin Corn Growers Association joins the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) in advocating for Administrative actions including: rescinding the section 232 and 301 tariffs, securing NAFTA’s future, entering new trade agreements, allowing for year-round sales of higher ethanol blends such as E15, and implementing the Renewable Fuel Standard as intended.
