Corn Congress brought corn growers to Washington D.C. to discuss the farm bill and other issues. “We talked about the financial situation that’s going to affect us with corn prices around that $4 mark and some of the devastation that’s occurred through the weather challenges we’ve had,” said Dana Allen-Tully, president, Minnesota Corn Growers Association. “We really wanted to drill home the experiences of what’s happening on the ground back in Minnesota.” The economic situation is serious. “A lot of farmers still have corn in the bin and we’re looking to get it out before harvest. The economic challenges that are going to be faced by corn farmers in the next three-to-six months very well could be significant.”
