Welcome to Corn Comments! I’m Chad Blindauer, SD Corn Utilization Council - District 8 Director. I raise corn, soybeans, wheat and cattle in Mitchell, South Dakota. We are brought to you by the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council, a volunteer group of farmers who promote corn marketing in this state, the US and around the globe.
Recently, comments suggesting that importing Argentinian beef as a solution to lower beef prices roiled the market. Increasing market access to a country that has a deeply unbalanced trade relationship with the U.S. harms our cattle producers. While beef prices have increased, consumer demand remains strong. Rather than attempting to influence the market by importing beef from Argentina, lets strengthen trade relations with trusted partners and reduce excessive tariffs that hinder these relationships.
This has been an update from the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council.
