51. A Holiday USMCA & Ag Policy Update from NCGA President Ken Hartman

2024 has been a year of ups and downs for US corn growers. But through it all, the one thing you can count on is that members of the NCGA pull together to protect the industry for everyone. And in the past several days, those efforts have paid off to deliver some early Christmas presents for NCGA members. Foremost on that list, the dispute settlement panel convened under the USMCA has ruled that Mexico's proposed GMO corn import ban is not supported by science, and is in clear violation of the trade agreement. And also, the continuing resolution passed by the US Congress to avert a government shutdown contains an extension of the Farm Bill and some much-needed economic assistance for growers. In this special holiday message from NCGA President Ken Hartman, he provides a quick update for growers on these developments, and shares NCGA's holiday wishes for a merry Christmas and a happy new year for all.
