Commodity Group Leaders Air Concerns with Vilsack, Jackson

Groups encouraged by opportunity to discuss issues.

Compiled by staff

Published: Mar 26, 2010

Leaders of the American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association, National Association of Wheat Growers, National Sorghum Producers, USA Rice Federation and National Cotton Council had a meeting with Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson Thursday. Recent court and EPA actions that could negatively affect farmers were among the items discussed.

NCGA President Darrin Ihnen characterized the meeting as a rare opportunity and clear sign that high ranking federal officials want to understand grower concerns. ASA Chairman Johnny Dodson said his group appreciates that interest and Secretary Vilsack's efforts to facilitate Thursday's meeting. Ihnen says these newly opened lines of communication can directly affect policies that impact growers on their farms.
