Corn
Growers Tune-in for Trade Promotion Authority (11-02-01)
Airwaves across
the country are filled with a simple message from the National Corn
Growers Association (NCGA) and the agriculture coalition for trade -
pass HR 3005,
the Bipartisan Trade Promotion Authority bill.
"Trade Promotion
Authority will facilitate access to foreign markets where 96% of the
world's consumers reside, bringing new opportunities for our nation's
corn growers," said Tim Hume, a Walsh, Colo., corn grower and president
of NCGA. "The radio ad will help NCGA reach out to producers across
the country, and ask them to voice their support for TPA."
"TPA will help
open new export markets," Hume continued, "and will give the
President the ability to negotiate favorable trade agreements from a
position of strength." A vote on Trade Promotion Authority is likely
to occur within the next five days. The radio ad will run during the
days leading up to the vote, and can be heard on NCGA's web page. Click

Center and drop a note to your representative in Washington. Encourage
them to pass TPA
now.
