During the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) Corn Congress, corn farmers from 28 states came together in our nation's capitol to debate issues and set policy for the organization. The highlight of the week was the election of four members of the NCGA Board, one of which was our own Rob Elliott of Cameron, IL! Pictured above is Paul Taylor (row 1, fourth from left) and Bill Christ (row 2) who represented Illinois during policy discussions at Corn Congress.
Of course, as mentioned earlier this week, we also visited with every member of Congress (or their staff) and both Senators while in Washington, ensuring that they understand the business of corn farming, the need for markets, and the sustainability of American corn farmers.
