Robert Liebenow of the Corn Refiners Association cites corn blight fears and price swings, while NFU proposals seek 22.5 million tons in and out of government storage with high resale safeguards. Government officials remain uncertain, noting current laws already build and release price-supported stock as needed.

Farm costs rise as 2 4 D ban eyed and blight hits Ohio
USDA researchers warn bans on herbicides 2 4 D and 2 4 T could lift farming costs by about 4.24 dollars per treated acre if fully enforced. Ohio extension specialists report southern corn leaf blight cuts corn yields by roughly 10 percent, lifting feed costs for dairy, beef, pork, and poultry and pushing up consumer prices. US soybean exports to 35 countries have surged, while weed control adds 20 million extra farm hours annually with a $290 million total farm-cost impact.
