Chad Hart, associate professor, was interviewed for a story in FeedNavigator.com about how rain and cold weather have impacted crops in the Midwest.
Hart was also quoted in several Associated Press media outlets on why soybeans and corn are treated differently for government assistance:
Chad Hart, an Iowa State University economist, said the reason giant crops such as corn and soybeans have been treated differently is because they're so important to the national economy. There isn't a replacement for such crops and a shortage would be painful, particularly to the livestock industry.
"There are only so many things you can feed to our livestock and keep the meat production going," he said.
