38. Winning in the Margins for Corn, with Outgoing NCGA President Chris Edgington

2022 has been another one of those years that throws a lot of curve balls at you. But in the world of agriculture, you can’t just hit home runs all the time. It might not get the headlines, but the real work gets done in the singles and doubles that you hit, and you’ve got to hit those reliably. And so in this episode, we look back at some of the important wins for the industry that you might not have heard about, with outgoing NCGA President Chris Edgington as he winds down his term in office. From tariffs on inputs to new regulations, the association has battled back against developments that would have cost farmers dearly. At the same time, new support for ethanol fuel is moving forward in Washington and could be a huge boon to growers. Make sure to REGISTER YOUR CONCERNS WITH THE EPA about its plans to revise registration for atrazine, which would effectively limit the effectiveness of this critical crop protection tool. Also, the Next Generation Fuels Act is one of NCGA’s top legislative priorities. CLICK HERE to ask your congressional representatives to cosponsor it.
