Corn industry highlights steps President Trump can take to strengthen rural economies

The corn industry is eager to back the efforts of the Trump administration and it has some suggestions.

In an op-ed on AgirPulse, Corn Refiners Association President and CEO John Bode said that if President Trump follows four keys he will find success in growing and strengthening rural economies.

Those include:

  • Eliminating excessive regulations
  • A reliable energy infrastructure
  • The continuation of tax policies for a strong economy
  • The need to advance trade policy

Bode went on to share, “The success of the Trump administration in these efforts will reverberate throughout the country, building a strong, pro-growth foundation that will keep rural, suburban, and urban economies strong for generations to come.”
