The
National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) has launched a new
blog to focus attention on key issues about corn and corn
growers.
The blog – “Corn Commentary” at
www.corncommentary.com
– provides an informal and interactive perspective, according to
NCGA President Ken McCauley.
“NCGA created this blog to provide a lighter, more personalized
look at corn, agriculture and the events of the day that affect
the nation’s corn producers,” McCauley explained. “It’s meant to
be interactive, like a discussion with good friends in the
coffee shop.”
Current topics explored on Corn Commentary include a
lighthearted look at a Hollywood production to promote E85, a
serious discussion of meat prices and a visual demonstration of
the price of movie popcorn. NCGA invites corn growers and others
interested in the issues that affect them to join the blog at
http://corncommentary.com and comment on any of the topics.
“We certainly want corn growers to have some fun with this,”
McCauley said. “There’s more than one way to discuss a serious
issue. I hope everyone checks out the blog, and if they see
something they’d like to comment on, don’t be shy.”
The National Corn Growers Association’s mission is to create
and increase opportunities for corn growers. NCGA represents
nearly 33,000 members, 46 affiliated state organizations and
hundreds of thousands of growers who contribute to state
checkoff programs. For more information, log on to
