NCGA Official Predicts Attitude Change

National Corn Growers Association CEO Rick Tolman says American agriculture is a great success story and he believes the positive news about the industry will be appreciated more by the general public in the coming years.
“I don’t think the people on Wall Street or on the West Coast understand how much technology is being applied and how much change there’s been in the way we grow crops in the last five years,” said Tolman. “I think that story’s going to come out and I think we are going to get a wave of recognition and support for agriculture for the contribution that we make.”
Tolman told Tony St. James of KFLP Radio in Floydada, Texas recently that he spent a big part of his time during 2007 answering questions about higher corn prices and how that is affecting other food prices.
