It
PAYS
to Join the
Kansas Corn
Growers
Association!
Corn Is HOT! Our Members Fuel the Fire
Interest in the future of
corn is running at an all-time high. Exports are strong, value
added corn-fed livestock exports are soaring, and domestic usage
is red hot thanks to ethanol. Having all three demand sectors
converge at this point in time is great news and a result
generated by multiple factors including world economic growth,
high oil prices, environmental concerns, luck and sweat
equity...to mention a few. Anyone in the industry that is paying
attention will tell you that the sweat equity part of the equation
has led the pack of driving forces, and the members of the Kansas
Corn Growers Association and the National Corn Growers Association
play a key role in providing that sweat equity to bring corn to
the forefront.
The most
obvious example of the planning, vision and hard work is the
explosive growth in the
ethanol
industry. In Kansas, we
could see our ethanol production nearly quadruple in the next few
years, creating very strong markets for our corn. Members of KCGA
feel a special sense of accomplishment in these developments. The
groundwork KCGA members have laid since the late 1970s, including
successful state and national legislative efforts and consumer
education, has made the current ethanol expansion possible.
Keeping Atrazine On the Market
Since 1995, KCGA has been
the leader in representing growers in the Environmental Protection
Agency’s special review of atrazine, a herbicide used on 2/3 of
our corn acres. The special review is in its final stage, and EPA
recently released a positive risk assessment for atrazine, which
is great news for growers. Without grower involvement, grower
access to atrazine would be questionable.
Leadership
Members of the Kansas Corn
Growers Association team up with more than 33,000 members of the
National Corn Growers Association to expand markets for corn and
give corn farmers a powerful voice. KCGA members are also members
of the National Corn Growers Association. KCGA works hard for corn
growers with leadership you can count on
both on the state and
national levels. Kansas grower Ken McCauley recently completed his
term as president of the NCGA and now serves as chairman.
