Your membership matters to your farm. And your future.
As a corn producer, your profitability and freedom to farm depend a great deal on decisions made by other people-many of whom are not farmers. Your future is influenced by consumer opinion, regulatory guidelines and government programs. NeCGA ensures that your voice is heard when decisions are being made that impact your farm.
When you join NeCGA, you add one more voice to answer the critics of agriculture. One more voice to influence a policy decision. One more voice to help a consumer better understand what you do and how you do it. You join thousands of your fellow Nebraska corn farmers in creating an even stronger future for corn production in the state.
When you compare a membership in the Nebraska Corn Growers Association (NeCGA) to the other investments you make in your farm, it’s pretty darn small-probably pennies per acre (or less). But your membership can help NeCGA make a huge difference for the future of YOUR industry.
NeCGA is also on the vanguard in developing the next generation of ag leaders in Nebraska-and in helping farmers become even better at growing corn profitably and sustainably.
