National Corn Growers Association President Harold Wolle is happy with the number of the organization’s priorities that were included in the farm bill. “It has some important improvements to the farm safety net, the Title I program and it doubles the MAP and FMD funding that we were advocating for,” said Wolle. “It has some improvements to crop insurance which was Corn Growers’ number one priority.” While pleased with the general structure of the bill, Wolle knows more work is needed for the bill to pass on the House Floor. “We will have to have bipartisan support so there are a number of those Democratic legislators that will need to be convinced that this is a good bill.”
