King Meets With Iowa Corn Growers Assocation

Statement

Congressman Steve King (R-IA) met this afternoon with members of the Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA). The ICGA delegation, representing corn growers throughout Iowa, is in Washington to share their concerns about a wide variety of issues with Members of Congress. During the meeting, Congressman King discussed several issues with the group, including increasing the Ethanol blend in gasoline from 10% to 15%, extending the ethanol blenders credit, improving locks and dams on Iowa's rivers, opening up new markets for international trade, and concerns with the potential passage of a "cap and trade' bill.

"It's always a pleasure to meet with members of the Iowa Corn Growers Association," said King. "Our state's interests are directly linked to the work these Iowans do every day. During our meeting, we discussed a number of issues under consideration in Washington that directly impact the bottom line for producers at home. In a number of respects, this is a critical period of time for corn growers, and I appreciate the fact that the members of this delegation took the time to come to Washington to make their voices heard."
