Thank You to Our 2025 Grassroots Supporters

IL Corn Growers Association thanks the organizations that make our work possible—our supporters during 2025.

Advocating for Illinois corn farmers requires consistent engagement with legislators and public officials from Springfield, IL, to Washington, D.C. From protecting ethanol markets and advancing farm policy to communicating the value of corn, this work takes resources, partnerships, and people who believe in the future of agriculture. Our partners help make that happen.

These investments do more than support an organization—they support the thousands of farm families who rely on effective advocacy, supportive policy, and strong markets to remain competitive and profitable.

To every company, organization, and partner that invested in IL Corn Growers Association this year, thank you. Your commitment to Illinois agriculture helps ensure that corn farmers have a seat at the table and a voice where it matters most.

We look forward to continuing this work together in the year ahead.
