COMMEMORATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF ILLINOIS CORN GROWERS ASSOCIATION
______
HON. DARIN LaHOOD
of illinois
in the house of representatives
Friday, August 5, 2022
Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor the Illinois Corn Growers Association (ICGA) on their 50th Anniversary. The Illinois Corn Growers Association is a vital organization in our state that works to support the agricultural economy and advocate public policies that help promote success and sustainability for farmers across Illinois.
Ilinois farmers are leaders in the production of corn. The ICGA has united farm families since 1972 to increase market opportunities for corn domestically and around the world. The ICGA provides a voice for farmers in Illinois to help promote best practices in the industry and foster stewardship of the land. The association also educates the public and coordinates policies that advance the biofuels industry and drives innovation in how we produce and use corn throughout the world.
I extend my sincere congratulations to ICGA members for their achievements over the years. Agriculture is the number one industry in Illinois. Advocacy groups like ICGA have helped shape the industry into what it is today and will help lead the industry into the future. I wish the organization many more years of success.
