> The National Corn Growers Association president testified to USTR that USMCA has made US corn growers more competitive and should be extended for 16 years. He cited roughly $5.5 billion in corn exports to Mexico and $1.5 billion in ethanol exports to Canada, and noted the first joint review must begin by July 2026.
