Gingrich gets straight 'A' grades on Iowa Corn Growers' scorecard
Newt Gingrich won the highest grade from the Iowa Corn Growers Association in its ranking of Republican presidential candidates on agriculture issues.
Herman Cain and Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, were at the bottom of the list.
The association, in releasing its rankings Wednesday, said it is not endorsing any of the candidates but sent surveys to the presidential hopefuls to assess their positions on the issues. If the candidates didn't respond, the group said, it studied their public statements, records and websites.
