(NAFB.com) – The National Corn Growers Association published the 2025 Corn Competitiveness Report. It’s a roadmap for the Trump Administration and Congress to bolster the economic outlook for farmers and rural America. The report comes as corn growers are forecasted to face a third year of negative returns in 2025. “The U.S. is a corn-producing superpower, growing about one-third of the world’s corn and doing so more sustainably than anywhere else on Earth,” the report says. According to the report, the U.S. can “turbocharge” American competitiveness in several ways, including increasing global market access for U.S. corn, expanding the use of U.S. corn in ethanol, and strengthening farm risk management programs. The report provides specific examples of the ways how the U.S. can achieve these targets, including developing new foreign markets, passing legislation that will expand consumer access to higher ethanol blends, and extending the estate tax exemptions farmers depend on.
