This week’s Open Mic guest is Jon Doggett, CEO of the National Corn Growers Association. The nation’s corn farmers have concerns about supply chain issues and the availability of fertilizer and crop protection products for the 2022 crop season. Doggett says it's important for farmer voices to be heard on fertilizer tariffs that limit supply and EPA protocols when considering the environmental impact on endangered species. Doggett says farmers and rural investors have fulfilled their obligation to provide feedstock and processing capacity to meet the volume goals for renewable fuels established in the Renewable Fuel Standard, and they’d like the EPA to enforce the law. He wants to see a regulatory environment for carbon sequestration and compensation and is hopeful the Biden administration will be aggressive in maintaining and growing global market opportunities for U.S. corn supplies.
