The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) convened in Denver, CO, for its annual delegate meeting during Commodity Classic, bringing together representatives from state organizations nationwide. This crucial gathering serves as a platform for delegates to debate and shape the policies that will guide the association’s advocacy efforts for the year ahead. Through thoughtful discussion and collaboration, members work to establish a national platform that addresses key issues affecting corn growers and the agricultural industry. The outcomes of these meetings help drive NCGA’s priorities in policy, trade, sustainability, and other critical areas impacting farmers nationwide.
Stu Swanson, President of the Iowa Corn Growers Association, attended the delegate meeting as a representative of Iowa’s corn farmers. He shared insights on some of the final resolutions adopted, highlighting key policy decisions that will shape the industry’s direction. Notably, one of the resolutions came directly from the Iowa delegation, emphasizing the state’s influence in national policy discussions.
The NCGA will reconvene this summer to review the platform, evaluate its progress, and make any necessary adjustments to address emerging challenges. President Swanson emphasized that Iowa’s delegation will be prepared to advocate for the state’s corn producers and ensure their voices are heard. He reaffirmed the Iowa Corn Growers Association’s commitment to supporting the national platform and working toward policies that benefit farmers both in Iowa and across the country.
