Anticipating the economic and environmental benefits of wind power generation for family farm agriculture, the American Corn Growers Association (ACGA) will enact a new national program for small and mid-sized farms to benefit from this growing industry. This program, called “Wealth From the Wind” will look to open up avenues for production agriculture and rural communities to reap the rewards of promulgating this clean, renewable form of energy. This week, the American Corn Growers Association (ACGA) endorsed The Consumer Right-to-Know Act of 2001 (S 280), to require retailers of beef, lamb, pork, and perishable agricultural commodities to inform consumers, at the final point of sale to consumers, of the country of origin of the commodities.
