(Radio Iowa) – Harvest projections for corn and soybeans are up while the prices for those commodities are remaining low. Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson says continuing to expand markets is one way to deal with that situation. The Republican from Marion says she recently talked with commodity groups at the Iowa State Fair.

(as said)”I sat down with the folks from Iowa Corn, they definitely want to see these trade deals come to fruition. So they were thankful for the provisions, we were able to get in the one Big Beautiful Bill act that are are now law. Obviously to help expand market access, making sure those resources are there for foreign market development,” Hinson says.

She says the U-S needs to keep working on deals like the ones secured with Great Britain, Vietnam, Japan, and South Korea that provide opportunities for our farmers

(as said)“Ultimately that’s what they want. They don’t want another handout or or another check, they want to be able to sell their products and make sure that demand is there,” she says.

Hinson says it will help Iowa tremendously if more markets can be opened up.*

(as said)”There’s amazing potential there if we can continue to advance these trade deals and continue to provide our farmers access to new markets,” she says.

Hinson says another example is a soybean crush plant she recently visited in her district that is supplying the South Pacific with fish food.
