Growers are hoping the recent rollout of a new U.S. trade deal with the United Kingdom is a sign of things to come. The agreement is the first trade pact with a new trading partner since 2012. And amid tariff uncertainty and unsettled markets, the presidential administration is signaling its desire to make trade deals with new countries a top priority. In particular, discussions are ongoing to open up new markets for corn in India and Vietnam, representing a potentially huge boost for the American corn industry. So in this episode of the Cobcast, we're talking to two top experts on international trade: Andrew Brandt, the Director of Trade Policy at the U.S. Grains Council; and Nancy Martinez, the Director of Public Policy, Trade and Biotechnology at the National Corn Growers Association. Together, we'll answer many of the distinct trade questions on growers' minds at this moment, like what are some other possible destinations for corn exports? What could potential deals look like with these new countries? And what does it all mean for folks who are just getting a crop in the ground?

Fifth-generation grower Brandon Hunnicutt is passionate about making a positive impact well beyond his farm in Giltner, Nebraska.Hunnicutt is involved in leadership of many organizations, as he tries to best understand new technology and how he and other growers can improve in areas like synthetic nitrogen use, which has caused concern over impacts on groundwater and community health. He said a key is for growers to understand and adopt new technology that helps both farm environment, providing it makes economic sense.“If we start mixing certain tools together, we can maybe not get all of the answers, but we will start unlocking some things that will really change what we can do in production agriculture,” Hunnicutt said. Hunnicutt serves as chair of the Nebraska Corn Board, is a board member of the National Corn Growers Association and the U.S. Grains Council. Additionally, he's chair of Field to Market, works with the USDA on greenhouse gas studies and is helping African farmers better feed their population.

This week's Open Mic guest is Brent Boydson, Immediate Past Chairman of the U.S. Grains Council. While there are immense headwinds to maintaining and growing markets for U.S.corn, sorghum and barley, Boydson believes emerging markets in Africa and India will provide tremendous growth opportunities for US farmers. He says U.S. efforts to verify sustainable ag practices, as well as the continued reliability and quality of products and increasing demand for more meat and protein, will open new markets.

Ever since Mexico issued a decree that banned genetically modified corn, there's been confusion and concerns from growers and policymakers alike here in the United States. Mexico is the number one market for U.S. corn growers by a wide margin, and over 90% of the corn that's planted in the United States is biotech. Accordingly, Mexico's decree threatens market access and adds a great deal of legal uncertainty for our corn growers. And ever since the decree was announced, organizations like the National Corn Growers Association, the Corn Refiners Association and the U.S. Grains Council have been leveraging every opportunity to push back. Recently, those efforts resulted in a trade dispute settlement hearing under the USMCA, which represents the best opportunity to reverse this destructive trade policy. So in this episode, we're going to revisit the history of the ban, explore the arguments that were made in the dispute settlement hearing, and discuss what it all means for farmers. Our guests include: Andrew Brandt, the director of trade policy for the U.S. Grains Council Heidi Bringenberg, the U.S. Grains Council's country director for Mexico Kristy Goodfellow, the vice president of trade and industry affairs for the Corn Refiners Association Nancy Martinez, the National Corn Growers Association's director of public policy, trade and biotechnology We'll also hear about the U.S. Grains Council's work to maintain relations in Mexico, in a segment that is sponsored by Corteva Agriscience.

The U.S. Grain Council (USGC) is actively engaged in maintaining and expanding trade relationships for U.S. corn, barley, and sorghum in foreign markets. With a focus on market development and access, the USGC has been a key player in facilitating exports to regions such as Asia, Latin America, North Africa, and beyond. “The current strategies of the USGC revolve around sustaining relationships with established markets in countries like Korea, Japan, Taiwan, China, and Mexico,” explains Brent Boydstun, Chairman of the USGC. “We're also looking into expanding our footprint in emerging markets across West Africa and different parts of Asia.” USGC recently opened an office in India and is now the first U.S. cooperator group to have an officer there. Boydstun says he fully expects there to be a very good return once everything is fully up and running and operational. Recent missions to regions like West Africa, including Senegal, have yielded promising outcomes. Collaborative efforts with local entities, such as feed mills and agricultural associations, are paving the way for enhanced trade relationships and market penetration.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's Open Mic guest is Ryan LeGrand, president and CEO of the U.S. Grains Council. Larger world supplies, a challenging global economy and the threat of trade restrictions are all weighing on the U.S. Grains Council's goal of growing markets for American farmers. LeGrand is pleased with the Biden administration's actions to challenge Mexico's import ban on genetically modified white corn and other biotechnology issues. LeGrand says a record Brazilian corn crop is being offered at prices more discounted than the U.S. supplies and more bushels of wheat are being utilized in feed rations. LeGrand says the council could certainly make good use of additional trade promotion funds if they're available in a new farm bill.

Drama continues to unfold between the United States and Mexico after Mexico announced it would stop buying certain genetically modified corn in 2024. This is corn that has traits that makes it resistant to drought or pests, for example.

Ken Rosenow is a fourth-generation corn grower who serves on the Wisconsin Corn Promotion Board and is a representative to the U.S. Grains Council. He says Wisconsin could be impacted if Mexico stops buying GM corn. But first, he gives more background on the situation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
