What role do ICGA, M&P members play in shaping the future of agriculture?

Indiana Corn Growers Association, Indiana Soybean Alliance Industry Affairs Outreach and Membership Manager

Becoming a member of the Indiana Corn Growers Association (ICGA) or Indiana Soybean Alliance’s Membership & Policy Committee (M&P) means you are joining a group of elite Indiana corn and soybean farmers. This group covers the State of Indiana and promotes agriculture policy that positively impacts farmers themselves.

Members play a vital role in promoting agriculture in Indiana. Farmer members create a voice to be heard. Policymakers are moved by the hundreds of farmers that ICGA and M&P represent. The more members join, the bigger the voice to be heard.

Do you want to make an impact on Indiana agriculture? Become an active member!

Our members are encouraged to attend exclusive events throughout the state during the year that include an extensive invite list of industry leaders, federal and state legislators, and other top-producing farmers.

This gives you, the farmer, the opportunity to talk to your legislators in person about ag policy that directly impacts your livelihood. This is your chance to take action and make changes on ag policy that affect your farming operation.

Exclusive events are a great way to meet other farmers in the state. Networking is a great way to learn about different farming practices and bounce ideas off peers to try new ideas. It’s a great way to make connections for inputs, needs or words of wisdom on your farm. You never know who you might meet at the next M&P or ICGA event.
