Earlier today, the Trump Administration announced the Farmer Bridge Assistance program, offering $12 billion in economic assistance to farmers impacted by low commodity prices. Further specifics will come by the end of the year.
Iowa Corn Growers Association President and farmer from Waverly, Iowa, Mark Mueller, released the following statement:
"The Iowa Corn Growers Association appreciates the Trump Administration's Farmer Bridge Assistance program that is helping alleviate stress from Iowa's corn farmers that are currently facing economic challenges due to low commodity prices, high input prices and market access challenges.
"We still need to find long-term solutions that will increase farmer profitability, and the best way Congress can do that is with passage of the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act of 2025. This legislation would expand access to fuel with 15% ethanol blends year-round, increasing demand for corn for ethanol and saving consumers money at the pump.
"We also encourage the Trump Administration to continue working as expeditiously as possible to secure new trade opportunities that will open foreign markets to corn and corn products."
