Kansas Corn Growers Association farmer-leaders and the Kansas Corn Collegiate Academy attended the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) Corn Congress meetings to advocate for key agricultural issues and priorities. Kansas Corn grower leaders, staff, and Collegiate Academy met with all six members of the Kansas delegation. “Attending NCGA’s biannual policy meeting, Corn Congress, gives Kansas producers a voice alongside farmers from other corn-growing states, ensuring that the practical realities of Kansas agriculture aren’t overlooked when national farm policy is debated in Washington, D.C.,” Brett Grauerholz, KCGA vice president and farmer in Republic, KS, said. “Because Kansas farmers face unique challenges from weather, markets, transportation, and environmental issues, showing up at Corn Congress ensures those realities are heard on Capitol Hill.” Additionally, Kansas farmers met with other state and national farmer leaders to discuss policies they would like to see NCGA implement and establish at the federal level.
