NCGA's new president Gerald Tumbleson believes ag's future depends on more private ownership.If Gerald Tumbleson had his way, not one raw kernel of U.S. corn would leave the country without being further processed. "Every kernel should get changed into something before it leaves," says the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) new president from Sher-burn, MN. Tumbleson farms with wife Joanne and two sons, Trent and Trace, in south-central Minnesota. Besides raising 4,000 acres of corn and soybeans, they also finish 21,000 hogs a year. Plus, they're part of another hog finishing co- op where they use the manure to fertilize their acreage.
