  • American Corn Growers challenge the logic of promoting transgenic corn to foreign markets

  • The American Corn Growers Association (ACGA), watching foreign export markets continue to fade away and seeing corn prices paid to U.S. farmers continue to drop, is questioning the wisdom of promoting biotechnology (GMOs) to foreign customers.

    "The ACGA believes an explanation is owed to the thousands of American farmers who were told to trust this technology, yet now see their prices fall to historically low levels while other countries exploit U.S. vulnerability and pick off our export customers one by one," said Larry Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer of the ACGA. "An explanation is also owed our foreign customers on why the United States isn't leading the effort to promote and sell the type of commodities and products they want and demand."
