The National Corn Growers Association applauded House passage of the Water Resources and Development Act by the U.S. House this week. NCGA First Vice President Wesley Spurlock says the Act will play a “vital role in moving corn to export markets.” NCGA notes that a main focus of the WRDA 2016 bill is clearing the backlog of projects managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It also provides more than $10 billion in funding to the Army Corps to develop, maintain and support the nation's port and waterways infrastructures. The next step for WRDA is a conference of the House and Senate bills, with a potential final bill ready to be signed by the President by the end of the year.
