Jon Cowles, Vice President of Sales for WL Port-Land, comments on his recent trip to Washington, D.C.:

“It was an honor to join my fellow American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) Board members in Washington, D.C., a few weeks ago to meet with congressional offices and advocate for policies that support the U.S. animal food industry. Our discussions focused on key priorities including feed innovation, supply chain resilience, regulatory modernization, trade, and agricultural competitiveness—issues that directly impact animal food manufacturers and the broader food supply chain.

As VP of Sales for WL Port-Land Systems and a member of the AFIA Board of Directors, I am proud to help represent an industry that plays a critical role in feeding animals and supporting a safe, sustainable, and secure food system. Thank you to the congressional staff and leaders who took the time to meet with us and engage in meaningful conversations about the future of agriculture and animal nutrition.”

Corn Growers Praise Farm Bill Movement, Demand Action on E15
The U.S. House of Representatives today passed the Farm, Food, and National Security Act (H.R. 7567). Ag leaders in the House indicated that a vote on a bill to expand year-round consumer access to fuels with 15% ethanol blends, or E15, would be voted on in a couple of weeks.

In response to these developments, Ohio farmer and National Corn Growers Association President Jed Bower released the following statement:

“We are pleased to see that the House passed the Farm Bill. The legislation includes important provisions in the conservation, trade, credit, rural development, research and energy titles. USDA programs are important to the success of corn farmers and rural communities, particularly as our growers face their fourth year of net losses and struggle with high input costs. We applaud Chairman GT Thompson for shepherding this legislation toward passage...Read More>>>

Data centers remain ‘largest driver behind growth’ in construction planning
Construction planning kickstarted some momentum in April, though a bulk of that jump stemmed from the data center construction boom.

The Dodge Momentum Index, a measure that tracks nonresidential construction projects entering the planning stages, ticked up 6.2% month to month in April, according to Dodge Construction Network. The positive report follows a slow start to the year around construction planning, especially for projects outside the data center construction frenzy.

“After three months of slowing momentum, nonresidential planning began to find its footing in April,” said Sarah Martin, director of economic research at Dodge Construction Network. “Data centers remain the largest driver behind growth in the Dodge Momentum Index, but several other sectors appeared to stabilize over the month.”...Read More>>
