Kentucky grain farmers have additional seats at the table to discuss national programs and policy at the National Corn Growers Association:

Joseph Sisk, of Christian Co., was appointed to the Stewardship Action Team. This team addresses water and air quality, soil health, sustainability, and the Farm Bill Conservation Title.

Quint Pottinger, of Nelson Co., retains his seat on the Resolutions Committee. This committee reviews and recommends revisions to NCGA’s Policy and Positions Statements that are ratified by voting delegates.

Adam Andrews, KyCorn Programs Director, was appointed to the Ethanol Action Team. This team addresses ethanol policy and marketing, infrastructure, and working with the auto industry.

Action teams play a vital role in the NCGA. They allow small groups of grower-leaders from various state affiliates to develop deep knowledge of specialized areas and then collaborate solutions that help NCGA create and increase opportunities and markets for their members.

We are appreciative of their service to not only Kentucky’s grain industry, but to farmers across the country.

What we do.

Kentucky Corn strives to create a future for Kentucky corn farmers where they can operate successfully, grow demand and foster an understanding of corn farmers and the industry.

For us, grassroots means that corn farmer members are the organization. Our organization is governed by a board of directors of volunteer farmers who are elected by farmer members. Kentucky Corn Growers Association’s ability to influence policy decisions depends entirely on the strength of its membership.

By being a member, you make the Kentucky Corn Growers Association a stronger advocacy group.
