Trade agreements like USMCA lower food prices, and our recent research with @AgForUSMCA proves it. Thank you @CongressmanGT for highlighting how USMCA saves $700 in grocery costs for consumers at today's @HouseAgGOP hearing.

This week @SecRollins took a strong stand for farmers’ access to innovative products before the @HouseAgGOP In order to produce a safe and healthy American food supply, we need the tools to do so. Thank you, Sec. Rollins, for being a champion for farmers. @USDA

Aflatoxin can dock a load at the elevator, restrict feed use, and shrink the value of an entire corn crop. New ways to avoid it are on the way. This year, two Texas-based, family-owned seed companies continue work towards releasing four new stress-tolerant, aflatoxin-resistant corn hybrids from a Texas A&M AgriLife Research breeding program. This supplements previously funded work on hybrids already cutting aflatoxin risk in corn fields from coast to coast. This work is funded through the Mycotoxin Mitigation Center of Excellence (MMCOE) and supported by the farmer-led NCGA Research & New Uses Action Team. These corn growers are investing in the research that brings better hybrids to American fields that help protect market access for this nation’s growers.
