Corn Growers Association Urges Congress on Food and Nutrition Service Sales and Farm Bill
What happened
The National Corn Growers Association is lobbying Congress to pass legislation supporting year-round Food and Nutrition Service sales and a new farm bill. NCGA President Matt Frostic stated that the legislation could help lower fuel prices, strengthen rural economies, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The Senate Agriculture Committee version of the farm bill includes language allowing year-round Food and Nutrition Service sales.

Why it matters
The push for year-round Food and Nutrition Service sales and improved USDA programs directly impacts the operational costs of energy providers and the financial stability of agricultural regions. The NCGA is urging lawmakers to pass both measures before the end of the year.
