LINCOLN, Neb. \u2014 The Nebraska\u00a0Corn Growers Association (NeCGA) is enraged by the recent anti-dumping and countervailing duties petition filed by Monsanto Company and its subsidiary Ruveon LLC on imports of their product, glyphosate.<\/p>\n
\u201cGlyphosate is a very important herbicide in operations across the state,\u201d said NeCGA President, Michael Dibbern, a farmer from Cairo,\u00a0Nebraska. \u201cBayer filing this petition demonstrates their lack of concern for their customer base, corn farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Facing a fourth consecutive year of tough financial conditions,\u00a0Nebraska\u2019s corn growers are reeling from record high input prices and low commodity prices. Bayer\u2019s actions only add another layer of uncertainty to an already unstable ag economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt a time when the agricultural industry needs to work together, Bayer\u2019s petition restricts competition, keeps input prices high and places company profits above their customers,\u201d says Dibbern.<\/p>\n
NeCGA has a long history of standing in opposition against input cases that limit accessibility and potential profitability for corn growers. In 2020, NeCGA was active in opposition as Mosaic and J.R Simplot filed a countervailing duties petition on phosphate products and a few years later when CF Industries filed a case on imported urea. Then most recently, Corteva filed a similar petition in 2024 on 2,4-D of which NeCGA opposed. Bayer is the latest company to insist on financial harm from the import of fertilizer and pesticide products.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a grassroots organization, state and nationally, we will continue to stand up for our fellow corn growers in\u00a0Nebraska\u00a0and oppose anti-dumping and countervailing duties on glyphosate and other input products.\u201d<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Nebraska\u00a0Corn Growers Association (NeCGA) is a grassroots commodity organization that works to advance\u00a0Nebraska\u00a0corn farmers through leadership, policy, and education. NeCGA has more than 2,400 dues-paying members in\u00a0Nebraska. NeCGA is affiliated with the National Corn Growers Association, which has more than 36,000 dues-paying members nationwide.<\/p>\n
