South Dakota Corn Grower’s members hold their annual convention Saturday in Sioux Falls. President Troy Knecht says at the top of grower’s minds is trying to be profitable in a challenging economy.

He says during their resolution session they’ll be talking about trade, taxes and renewable fuels.

Knecht says his group’s members want free trade and would like to see a resolution to the trade war.

Knecht says they also want to see Congress ratify the USMCA trade deal and for the EPA to get the rule making done on year round use of E15.
