Farmer to Farmer Program Ensures Choices in Technology for American Agriculture

The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) has launched a new program, called Farmer to Farmer, that is designed to help farmers ensure they continue to have a wide range of technology options available to them.

The program includes a new web site with materials that gives growers selected talking points to rebut any pending legislation to restrict access to agricultural technology. The talking points offer a strong rebuttal, based on sound science, to the information put out by biotech opponents.

Also on the site are details on:
  • Questions and answers on coexistence farming
  • Economics of crop biotechnology
  • Environmental impacts of crop biotechnology
  • Biotech crop safety
  • Additional resources to take action and stay involved

More information can be found at the National Corn Growers Association web site, or at the Farmer to Farmer site.
