The National Corn Growers Association recently published a sweeping new report illustrating how far American agriculture has come in the nation’s first 250 years and how urgent action needed now to secure its future. The report, titled, America’s Crop at Risk, the Future of Corn and Family Farms.
The report was released prior to Commodity Classic and has been a hot topic of conversation in San Antonio. The report traces the history of American agriculture and the critical role corn has played. Says only 43% of family farms have a family successor in place and over 60% rely on off-farm jobs to keep the operation stable.
