WASHINGTON, D.C. - Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode released the following statement as the government began the 2026 fiscal year without a funding agreement.
"Shutting down the government is a short-term action that will have long-term consequences. We urge Congress to fulfill its responsibility to the American people by ensuring the government remains open and getting back to work on advancing meaningful legislation like a new Farm Bill."
