The mission of the ICGA is through grassroots advocacy, create a future for Illinois corn farmers in which they can operate responsibly, freely, and successfully. The mission of the ICMB is through strategic investment of Illinois corn checkoff dollars, grow demand, create new markets and foster understanding of corn farmers and the corn industry.

What is Unique about your business?

IL Corn Growers Association is a state-based organization that represents the interests of corn farmers in Illinois, maintaining a high profile on issues in Washington, DC, and Springfield, IL. Through grassroots advocacy, ICGA creates a future for Illinois farmers in which they can operate freely, responsibly, and successfully. In order to fulfill this mission, the organization conducts governmental affairs activities at all levels, market development projects, and educational and member service programs. Because the Illinois Corn Marketing Act precludes the use of corn checkoff dollars for legislative activities, ICGA utilizes membership dues to sustain a notable legislative presence in Springfield, IL, and Washington, DC.

Legislation & Regulation

Members of the IL Corn Growers Association (ICGA) list "representation in Springfield, IL and Washington, DC" among the top three reasons they remain one of our over 4,000 members. And they are right! ICGA does a great job representing Illinois corn farmers on a state and a national level.

Illinois farmers have enjoyed the Yield Trend Endorsement, saving them money on their crop insurance, because of the work of ICGA. In fact, the work of ICGA contributed to the availability of crop insurance at all, as well as access to other farm programs, voluntary water quality standards, trade with other countries, and ethanol marketing opportunities.

Take a peek for yourself! We are doing great things for farmers ... and we'd love to do great things for you.

Follow the We are 96 Consumer Campaign

A coalition of Illinois farm associations joined together to make 2023 the Year of the Farmer with a statewide campaign that launched during Super Bowl. The message? Ninety-six percent of Illinois farms are family owned and operated. Research tells us that non-farmers would put this number closer to 50 percent. In fact, others in Illinois think that about 47 percent of farms are family owned, with 53 percent being corporately controlled. That’s a statistic that – though untrue – concerns a lot of our neighbors because they aren’t sure they trust the decisions a corporation would make for Illinois’s exceedingly fertile resources.
