Iowa Corn Farmer-Leaders Set Policy at Commodity Classic

Iowa Corn farmer-leaders participated in the 2023 Commodity Classic in Orlando, Florida. A key task for the Iowa Corn Growers Association (ICGA) at Commodity Classic is advocating in support of policies and actions for the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) to implement and establish at the federal level to benefit Iowa’s farmers as well as corn farmers across the nation.

“Each year, the policy process starts with our grassroots farmer-members through our membership survey and input gathered at our local roundtable meetings held across the state. The resolutions then move to the ICGA Annual Grassroots Summit held in August, and then on to the national policy development during NCGA’s Corn Congress at Commodity Classic,” said Denny Friest, ICGA President and farmer from Radcliffe, Iowa. “While at Commodity Classic, our ICGA delegates, presented resolutions that set the framework for our federal legislative efforts and directly influence our direction for years to come.”

The Iowa resolutions passed by the NCGA delegate body include:

  • Support EPA approval of E-85 conversion for existing vehicles to increase the use of biofuel and consumer choices.
  • Support legislative oversight of regulatory agencies.
