The Kentucky Corn Growers Association is proud to announce that Brandon Hunt of Herndon, Kentucky, has been elected to the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) Board of Directors. Hunt’s election marks a historic milestone as the first Kentucky farmer to serve on the national board.
“It’s an honor to represent Kentucky corn farmers on the national stage,” said Hunt. “I’m committed to working collaboratively with growers across the country to protect our long-term profitability, push for smart innovation, and ensure farmers’ perspectives stay at the heart of national policy decisions.”
A longtime leader and advocate for Kentucky agriculture, Hunt brings years of experience and commitment to advancing the interests of corn growers both in the Commonwealth and across the country. His election underscores the increasing role Kentucky farmers are playing in shaping national agricultural policy and priorities.
