Representation in Springfield and Washington, DC is valuable for Illinois corn farmers.

ICGA farmer leaders make two or more in-person trips to our state and national capitals each year, as well as multiple phone calls with leaders on our members’ behalf. Lobbying on the Hill for infrastructure improvements, trade agreements, self-regulation and more, is just one way we keep a close relationship with our congresspeople and senators. We also keep our members informed about up-and-coming bills, policies, votes, and activity through weekly emails and an opt-in text alert system, which gives them the opportunity to directly connect with their law makers. We believe that every voice counts!

But did you know your membership also empowers youth in agriculture?

Whether its sponsoring Ag In the Classroom or sending a group of FFA kids to DC, we believe in the future and longevity of the family farm. IL Corn partners in several young leaders programs, scholarships, and internships to support the professional development of future farmers.

And your membership creates positive change for our soils, water, and air.

Cover crop programs, pollinator well-being, carbon sequestering studies, and regulation discussions… These are all issues that we have a whole team working on, daily. We convert qualitative markers into quantitative data in order to prove the positive changes we are implementing thanks to your membership dollars.

Your membership invests in the Illinois livestock industry.

Since corn feeds cattle, hogs, and poultry, it only makes sense that we would be close friends. We often partner up on projects and attend several of each others’ conferences and meetings in order to serve consumers healthy, accurate, consistent, information about where their food comes from.
