What do you know about my business?

IL Corn has two separate boards with two separate strategies. Illinois Corn Growers Association (ICGA) and Illinois Corn Marketing Board (ICMB). The mission of the ICGA is through grassroots advocacy, create a future for Illinois corn farmers in which they can operate responsibly, freely, and successfully. The mission of the ICMB is through strategic investment of Illinois corn checkoff dollars, grow demand, create new markets and foster understanding of corn farmers and the corn industry.

What is Unique about your business?

IL Corn Growers Association is a state-based organization that represents the interests of corn farmers in Illinois, maintaining a high profile on issues in Washington, DC, and Springfield, IL. Through grassroots advocacy, ICGA creates a future for Illinois farmers in which they can operate freely, responsibly, and successfully. In order to fulfill this mission, the organization conducts governmental affairs activities at all levels, market development projects, and educational and member service programs. Because the Illinois Corn Marketing Act precludes the use of corn checkoff dollars for legislative activities, ICGA utilizes membership dues to sustain a notable legislative presence in Springfield, IL, and Washington, DC.

Ethanol: Priority Issue

Ethanol is the fastest growing corn market.

The IL Corn Growers Association tackles legislative barriers to a growing ethanol market, like moving the E10 tax savings to E15 in Illinois to give consumers an additional financial incentive to fuel up with E15. Additionally, ICGA is working diligently for the passage of Next Generation Fuels Ac, which would allow ethanol to be an important part of a new fuel standard, and for expanded ethanol trade.

The IL Corn Marketing Board is updating ethanol infrastructure so that when the legislative barriers are removed, we’re ready to fuel up Illinois! ICMB also promotes your fuel through programs with local retailers.
