In this Podcast, Carl Sousek, a farmer from Prague and a member of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association, talks about a survey that found broad public respect and trust for family farmers and broad support for corn as food, feed and fuel. The survey was conducted by the National Corn Growers Association.
Sousek notes that 95 percent of those polled found farmers to be trusted sources of information when it comes to agriculture, corn products and ethanol, while ethanol itself was supported as a good fuel alternative by 65 percent of those polled.
Ninety-five percent support the use of corn as food for people, while 93 percent support its use as livestock feed. Sixty-seven percent support the use of corn as a sweetener, while more uses of corn, like for fiber and packaging, were supported by 73 percent of those polled.
